What is the
greenhouse accelerator?
The Greenhouse Collaborative Accelerator, delivered by PepsiCo as part of its pep+ (PepsiCo Positive) strategy, is a sustainability-focused innovation platform designed to help emerging solutions across agriculture, climate and circularity move from concept to real-world application.
pep+ seeks to address many of PepsiCo’s biggest ESG challenges, including value-chain (scope 3) emissions, by working with partners to accelerate progress across agriculture, packaging, logistics and energy.
Connected to PepsiCo’s global network, the Greenhouse Collaborative Accelerator brings together real-world testing , high-value partnerships and commercial insight to help solutions scale successfully in global markets.
our story
The Greenhouse Accelerator exists to unlock the real-world potential of sustainability innovation. Across agriculture, climate and circularity, promising solutions often stall between concept and adoption not because they lack ambition, but because partnership, testing and scale are hard to execute.
Built to change that, the platform is grounded in collaboration, experimentation and learning – bringing together innovators, corporate teams and technical expertise to prove ideas in practice.
As part of PepsiCo’s pep+ strategy, the Greenhouse Accelerator plays a practical role in tackling value-chain challenges by enabling innovation with both environmental impact and commercial viability.
what we do
The Greenhouse Accelerator operates through an integration model via pilots, and commercialisation projects.
Solutions are validated in real-world settings, supported by expert insight and commercial support. This approach tests performance in practice and helps identify viable pathways to scale. By connecting innovation with PepsiCo and its broader ecosystem, the platform enables collaboration and long-term impact beyond testing.
