Explore our value chain, and see how sustainability is a part of everything we are and everything we do—from our leadership philosophy to material sourcing to end-of-life practices.
Using 2020 as a baseline, our commitment through 2030 is to:
EnviroServe™ Leafy Greens uses 70% recycled content (on average). The packaging decreases plastic by an average of 35% compared to similarly-sized clamshells. Plus, our lidding film uses a scientifically tested method to seal in crispness, reduce waste and enable automation.
Recyclability is more than a label. Just because packaging can technically be recycled doesn’t mean it will be. It’s possible for a package to have a recycling claim but still contaminate the reprocessing process or not fill a viable need in the market. We believe there are four criteria for packaging to be considered recyclable.
See how our work reflects our priorities by taking a look at our Corporate Responsibility Report, our 2021 GRI Index, and our other environmental policies. We take corporate responsibility seriously.
