Strength Through Sustainability

Hefty® is Committed to Sustainability

Hefty® is committed to making recycled and compostable products, rethinking production processes, creating circular economies via community programs, and shrinking packaging to shrink CO2 emissions.

WE’RE DESIGNING WITH THE ENVIRONMENT IN MIND.

We use recyclable packaging across the entire Hefty® trash bags portfolio. Many Hefty® products now come in smaller packaging than before, helping to reduce the amount of paperboard material used and shrink CO2 emissions.

THE HEFTY RENEW™ PROGRAM IS AN EASY SOLUTION FOR HARD-TO-RECYCLE PLASTICS.

Hefty ReNew partners with communities around the country to make it easy for our local partners to collect otherwise hard-to-recycle plastics at curbside and convert them into valued resources. Check to see if your community participates in the Hefty ReNew Program.

WE ADHERE TO ALL ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS.

We continuously strive to reduce raw material and energy consumption, including reducing or recycling scrap and optimizing shipping efficiencies. By using more scrap material, we're on track to hit our goal of zero waste certification by 2025.
