ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

TerraCycle adds Mission Foods to collection program

TerraCycle Mission Foods Target Include USA
Mission Foods has partnered with Trenton, New Jersey-based upcycling firm TerraCycle to recover and reuse the steady stream of plastic foods bags and metal lids the tortilla giant produces. Mission packages its tortillas and tostadas in LDPE plastic, a material that typically don't make their way into recycling streams. Under TerraCycle Tortilla and Tostada Bag Brigade program, any individual or organization can collect and return Mission packaging, which will be upcycled by TerraCycle into new items like tortilla warmers, bags and accessories. The program is being conducted in concert with Mission's "Today's Mission for a Better Tomorrow" sustainability initiative, and consumers have the opportunity to donate two cents per unit of packaging they turn in to a charity of their choice.
