Visiting what’s considered this country’s most sustainable production operation—Frito-Lay North America’s Casa Grande snack food plant—I was impressed, to say the least, by such a progressive place.
As you will discover in our feature articles this month, Frito-Lay North America is committed to sustainability by investing in a healthier future for people and its products. The site features advanced solar power capabilities to reuse processed water and it runs almost entirely on renewable energy. Frito-Lay refers to the facility as “Nearly Net Zero.” Since 1999, when the Casa Grande conservation programs were implemented, Frito-Lay has used innovative approaches and technologies to transform the facility so it runs mainly on renewable energy sources to make its products.
