HECK ! Food ________________________________________
As touched on earlier , HECK ! Food is also deeply committed to sustainability , having spent the past five years learning about best practices and strategies to reduce its impact on the environment . “ We began by improving our packaging , with plastic trays made from 90 percent recycled plastic and cardboard made from 100 percent recycled pulp . To date , 100 percent of Heck ’ s food packaging including the film and ink are recyclable and the cardboard sleeve is suitable for home recycling .
Recently , we also switched to CleanFlake PET-based plastic trays , labels , and stickers , thereby reducing our annual plastic use by 50 tons . Moreover , we operate a lean factory operation , resulting in minimal waste , and have an on-site recycling program where plastic , paper , and solid waste are sorted into separate bins . We are also in the process of eliminating all non-essentials , such as disposable cups .
