In 2007, the company launched a program with the global recycling company Sonoco Recycling, using its Sonoco Sustainability Solutions (S3) service offering to substantially reduce waste in plants. The ultimate objective: send zero waste to landfills.
Today, 36 Kraft Foods facilities have achieved zero-waste-to-landfill status, including 24 plants in Europe and 12 facilities in North America.
Elsewhere, many plants have made significant reductions through partnerships to put waste to work. Kraft has a fact sheet of case histories on its website.
