Our Call to Action

Landfills

Roughly 14 million tons of plastic packaging is generated every year with 69% discarded into landfills.

Hunger

Hunger in America exists for over 50 million people. That is 1 in 6 of the U.S. population – including more than 1 in 5 children.

Fossil Fuels

Traditional plastic packaging is created by using an abundant amount of fossil fuels and designed to be discarded within minutes of purchase.

Food Waste

Each day in the United States approximately one pound of food per person is wasted.

Plastic

Commonly used plastic items never completely decompose; over time they become micro-plastics and continue to pollute the environment.

Carbon Footprint

The average carbon footprint for a person in the United States is 16 tons, one of the highest rates in the world. Globally, the average is closer to 4 tons.

More Than 95% of our Packaging is REcyclable
