PepsiCo has been repeatedly accused of being a "dirty" or unsustainable company. This criticism has focused largely on the company’s reliance on the use of controversial ingredients like BPA in its plastic bottles and its high levels of sugary drink consumption. In addition, PepsiCo is also often cited for its inadequate approach to issues like workers' rights, labor practices, gender diversity and environmental sustainability. For example, the company was widely criticized in 2013 for attempting to shut down a union-owned factory in Indiana. Furthermore, the company's products have also faced increasing scrutiny for their health implications, with a number of scientific studies showing that sugary drinks are linked to various health problems, including obesity and diabetes. Finally, PepsiCo has frequently been accused of greenwashing, with critics accusing the company of manipulating consumers into thinking its products are environmentally conscious, when in fact its practices still involve the use of controversial ingredients and lack of environmental consciousness.
