Ghost the Trash: Pizza Hut Teams Up With Smurfit Westrock to Increase Pizza Box Recycling in Louisville, Ky.
The iconic pizza brand and one of its key pizza box suppliers want customers to know that pizza boxes can be recycled
這家標誌性的披薩品牌及其主要披薩盒供應商希望顧客知道,披薩盒是可以回收利用的
PLANO, Texas, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pizza Hut, LLC has partnered with Smurfit Westrock, one of the brand's primary pizza box suppliers, to raise awareness with customers in Louisville, Ky. that their pizza boxes can be recycled. While there can be confusion surrounding this topic, research conducted by Smurfit Westrock in recent years has proven that pizza boxes can in fact be recycled, grease and all, when infrastructure in local communities allows. In fact, it's estimated that nearly 75% of people in the U.S. have access to recycling for used pizza boxes in their local community.
德克薩斯州普萊諾,2024年11月14日 / PRNewswire / - 披薩之家有限責任公司已與其主要披薩盒供應商之一Smurfit Westrock合作,以提高肯塔基州路易斯維爾的顧客意識,即他們的披薩盒是可以回收利用的。儘管這個話題可能會存在一些混淆,但Smurfit Westrock近年來進行的研究已經證明,披薩盒實際上可以回收利用,包括油脂在內,前提是當地社區的基礎設施允許。事實上,據估計,在美國將近75%的人口可以在本地社區回收使用過的披薩盒。
"At Pizza Hut, we've always been focused on giving our customers the best pizza possible and an important part of the experience is the pizza box," said Emily True, the global senior manager of sustainability at the brand. "Once our customers are done enjoying their pizza, we want them to understand how they can play an important role in making sure boxes get a second life."
「在披薩之家,我們一直致力於爲顧客提供最好的披薩,並且體驗中的一個重要部分就是披薩盒,」該品牌的全球可持續發展高級經理Emily True表示。「一旦顧客享用完披薩,我們希望他們了解如何在確保盒子獲得第二次生命中發揮重要作用。」
Pizza Hut has a history of working to make its pizza box more sustainable. When it comes to the box itself, the brand is in a position of strength since it primarily uses corrugated cardboard which is a widely recyclable material. Of the cardboard used in the brands' pizza boxes in the U.S. at least 35% is made of recycled content. Pizza Hut is also taking on this issue through consumer education and working with groups that influence local governments and municipalities on the recyclability of cardboard pizza boxes.
披薩之家一直致力於使其披薩盒更具可持續性。在這個問題上,由於品牌主要使用瓦楞紙板,這是一種廣泛可回收利用的材料,因此品牌處於優勢地位。在美國,披薩之家披薩盒中至少35%的紙板由回收材料製成。披薩之家還通過消費者教育以及與影響地方政府和市政府在披薩盒的可回收性上合作的團體來解決這一問題。
Smurfit Westrock also has a long history when it comes to sustainable practices. As one of the largest producers of pizza boxes in the U.S., the company is committed to circularity in packaging, which it achieves in part by returning and recycling used corrugated material into the packaging production cycle. After all, more than 3 billion pizza boxes are consumed annually in the U.S. market. But achieving this goal requires partnership, especially with companies like Pizza Hut that can reach consumers.
Smurfit Westrock在可持續實踐方面也有悠久的歷史。作爲美國最大的披薩盒生產商之一,該公司致力於在包裝中實現循環利用,部分實現方式是將已使用瓦楞材料回收利用到包裝生產循環中。畢竟,美國市場每年消耗超過30億披薩盒。但要實現這個目標需要合作伙伴關係,尤其是與可以接觸消費者的披薩之家等公司的合作。
"Recycling corrugated material is a fairly simple, straightforward process that contributes to improving circularity in packaging," said Kevin Hudson, senior vice president of Forestry and Recycled Fiber at Smurfit Westrock North America. "Awareness is a critical first step, but sustainable results can only be achieved when consumers, manufacturers, brands and communities work collectively to recycle pizza boxes, and we're grateful for the opportunity to work with Pizza Hut, haulers and local municipalities to improve circularity in the Louisville market."
西洛克北美森林和再生纖維高級副總裁凱文·哈德森表示:「回收瓦楞紙材料是一個相當簡單、直接的過程,有助於改善包裝循環使用率。意識是關鍵的第一步,但只有在消費者、製造商、品牌和社區共同努力回收披薩盒時,才能實現可持續的成果,我們很高興有機會與必勝客、運輸公司和地方政府合作,改善路易斯維爾市的包裝循環使用率。」
