Sustainability Watch

• In North America, Kraft Foods recently changed its Maxwell House, Yuban, and Nabob coffee brands from steel cans to composite paperboard that weighs 30 percent less, uses 50 percent recycled content, and is expected to eliminate 8.5 million pounds of packaging.

Kraft Foods recycles nearly 90 percent of its manufacturing waste, so it makes sense to help consumers boost their own recycling rates.
