Hefty^® Sustainability Efforts

Cleaner Communities

The Hefty^® brand is proud that our waste bags directly aid litter control and clean-up efforts that keep our communities cleaner.

Sustainable Choices

The Hefty^® brand offers several sustainable product options:

• Hefty^® Renew^® trash bags made from 20% recycled plastic
• Hefty^® Compostables trash bags for food and yard waste collection
• Hefty ECOSAVE^™ Tableware made from plant-based materials
• Hefty^® Compostable Printed Paper Plates made from plant-based materials

We work with retailers to carry the assortment that aligns to local recycling and composting practices.

Environmental Regulations and Efficiencies

We adhere to all air, water, and power regulations in the communities we operate. In addition, we continuously work to reduce our consumption of raw materials and energy in producing our products, including reducing or recycling scrap generated during our production processes. We seek to ship full truckloads of product from our closest production facility to reduce fuel usage and carbon emissions. We offer recycling in our facilities as available in each community.

How2Recycle^™ Label

To encourage recycling, we are a leader in implementing the How2Recycle^™ Label, which is a voluntary standardized labeling system that clearly communicates recycling instructions to the public. Standardized instructions are provided for both the product itself and recycling instructions for packaging on all Hefty^® brand products.
