Eight Conagra facilities across the U.S. and Mexico have been awarded Zero Waste Champion status for diverting more than 95 percent of waste materials from landfills. These facilities have helped Conagra achieve an 84 percent company-wide waste diversion rate in 2020.
This year's honorees include frozen, snacks, international, and grocery manufacturing facilities. The 2020 Zero Waste Champion facilities are located in Brookston, Indiana; Hamburg, Iowa; Irapuato, Mexico; Lakeview, Iowa; Mankato, Maple Grove and Waseca, Minnesota; and Oakdale, California.
“We commend our employees' ingenuity and dedication to finding solutions that reduce landfill waste," said Dave Biegger, executive vice president and chief supply chain officer at Conagra Brands, in a statement. "Our Zero Waste Champion facilities demonstrate Conagra's commitment to finding new ways to be more environmentally responsible and nourish the planet."
