Waste Reduction

Getting Waste Reduction Down to a Science

Heinz is at the forefront of packaging innovation through research and development. As a leading global food company, we consider it a top priority.

Fresh Ideas in Packaging

In North America, we are switching our frozen Boston Market® meals to trays made from recycled pulp and cartons that are not chemically bleached.
In the U.K., Australia, Indonesia and New Zealand, we are converting to lighter-weight cans for products such as beans and soups

Big Losses... the Good Kind

In the last fiscal year, at our facility in Mason, Ohio, Heinz reduced metal waste by 625,000 pounds. In Dallas, Texas, we recycled more than 1.2 million pounds of material. In Fremont, Ohio, we recycled 350,000 pounds of plastic. Heinz is presently transferring best practices in waste reduction and recycling across the globe.
We're also committed to reducing the amount of packaging material associated with our products, while keeping in mind food safety regulations shelf stability and quality control. Customer and supplier collaborations are among the driving forces impacting our waste reduction and packaging optimization initiatives.
