Minimizing Waste

At Frito-Lay, we strive to put the 3 R's into action. We want to dramatically reduce the amount of waste we create, as soon as possible, through a policy of Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling.

One big example of how we're implementing the three R's is our efforts with shipping cartons. By reusing our cartons five or six times each, we're using 120,000 tons less paperboard a year.  Once the cartons are no longer usable, they are recycled.

We're also innovating packaging and processes to further reduce waste.  Look for more exciting packaging developments to come in the near future.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.  Three ways we’re working toward a brighter future.
