Our bags  aren’t brown—they’re green

We’re committed to more sustainable packaging because it helps our operators win guest loyalty—and it reduces the amount of trash going to landfills. That’s what we call a win-win.

Changing the industry, one bag at a time

Our dedicated packaging team did more than create new paper fry bags made with bio-based and fully recyclable materials.

They also conducted extensive testing to ensure the bags will perform, from packing to shipping to the moment you open the bag and toss the fries into your fryer.

We're committed to:

Less waste

We are designing our packaging to be recycle-ready, resusable, or compostable.

Reducing emissions and water use

Less Scope 3 GHG emissions—and less water used—in the production of our packaging.

Building partnerships

Working together with suppliers and organzations to collectively monitor and improve packaging materials for a better planet.

The circle of (paper bag) life

Our new paper bags may look just like the one's you're used to, but these new-and-improved versions can easily be recycled with your cardboard.

But what happens to the bag after you've tossed it into the recycling? The short version is: they're broken down into materials that are used to produce new paper products!

Here's how it works:

Step 1: Empty & recycle

Toss your fry bag into your cardboard recycling.

Step 2: Sorted & screened

At a local recycling facility, they're sorted and screened.

Step 3: Pulped & rolled

The bags are broken down, pulped, and then rolled and dried into sheets.

Step 4: Regenerated & ready

Sheets of recycled paper are used to make new paper products.

Sustainability is good for business

Our farming methods, waste practices, and our packaging are all focused on making our planet—and your business—more sustainable. And that's a story your guests want to hear.
