REDUCING WASTE, PLASTIC AND PACKAGING
By the end of 2021, we had converted 26% of our stores from single-use plastic to paper, and every new
store opened in 2021 only uses FSC-certified, 100% recyclable paper bags at checkout. We continue to
explore alternative, innovative solutions to single-use bags through industry collaboration in our work
with Consortium
to Reinvent the Retail Bag.
Internally, we are focused on increasing our waste diversion rate while our business grows
through reducing our trash streams, ongoing recycling efforts, and teammate education on best practice
recycling methods.
