Pay Less
We recognize that our customers are increasingly interested in making a difference when it comes to their individual efforts and choices. Our efforts in helping them extend to the products customers find on our store shelves. We recently teamed with one of our suppliers, Tetra Pak, to use its Tetra Recart recyclable paper cartons for our Kroger brand tomato sauce and other tomato products instead of cans.
While no package is fully sustainable, Tetra Recart is the most sustainable recyclable packaging available on the market today. Two-thirds of Tetra Recart packages are made from paper, a renewable source. In another example of our efforts, we recently removed plastic lids from yogurt cups we manufacture and sell in all of our supermarkets. Yogurt cups we produce are now sealed with foil covers. We estimate this change will save approximately one million pounds of extra plastic from entering the ecosystem each year.
