That’s why we’re switching from virgin plastic to 100% recycled plastic for our curvy carafe bottles.* By using plastic that already exists, we decrease our demand for new plastic. This is called “circularity,” where waste is reduced by reusing what already exists.
*Does not include plastic cap or sleeve.

Based on a comparison of our packaging before and after lightweighting, details available in 2022 Sustainability Report
This forward-looking statement is based on the forecasted 2024 reduction in total miles traveled between our manufacturing facility and supplier during that period.
