Sustainable Packaging

Almost all of Kellogg's cereal cartons are made of 100 percent recycled fiber, with at least 35 percent coming from consumer-recycled material. In fact, we are one of the largest users of recycled paperboard in the United States, and we've been using it since our founding in 1906.

We estimate that packaging accounts for about 15 to 20 percent of our products' lifecycle carbon footprint. We are committed to reducing our overall packaging, increasing our use of recycled content, as well as increasing the recyclability of our packaging.

Our Global Sustainable Packaging Team has developed a framework that will be used across the company to make packaging decisions that improve our package-to-food ratio, percent recycled material content and percent materials that are commonly recoverable. These efforts build on source-reduction initiatives that Kellogg has had in place since 1994 and that have resulted in materials use reductions each year.
