Heinz by Nature and TerraCycle Partner to Make Recycling Baby Food Pouches As Easy As Child’s Play

Parents and Caregivers Can Recycle Baby Food Packaging Through TerraCycle while Earning Donations for Schools & Non-Profits

TORONTO, ON, (October 25, 2022) – In honor of Waste Reduction Week, the Heinz By Nature™ brand and TerraCycle® are working together to not only offer parents the opportunity to provide their babies with nutritious food, but also a way to meet their sustainability goals. Kraft Heinz Canada has partnered with international recycling leader TerraCycle to help give typically hard-to-recycle baby food pouches a new life.

This program is just the most recent sustainability initiative introduced by Kraft Heinz and aims to help the company meet its existing goal to make 100% of its packaging recyclable, reusable, or compostable by 2025.

Participation in the program is easy – parents are invited to sign up on the Heinz by Nature™ Free Recycling Program page at https://www.terracycle.com/en-CA/brigades/heinz-by-nature and mail in baby food pouches. Once collected, the packaging is cleaned, melted down, and then remolded to make new products. By taking part in the Heinz by Nature™ Free Recycling Program, recyclers also earn TerraCycle points that they can choose to redeem for donations to a nonprofit organization or school of their choice with every shipment.

“Our partnership with Heinz by Nature offers parents the opportunity to demonstrate their sustainability values while providing nutritious food for their baby,” says TerraCycle CEO and Founder, Tom Szaky.

“Through the Heinz by Nature™ Free Recycling Program, families have access to an easy, free way to dispose of traditionally non-recyclable baby food packaging with the help of TerraCycle.”

The Heinz by Nature Recycling Program is open to any interested individual, school, office, or community organization nationwide. For more information on TerraCycle’s recycling programs and charitable organizations, visit http://www.terracycle.ca.
