Impact Thesis

Footprint’s fiber-based, highly durable, 100% biodegradable, recyclable, and repulpable packaging has the ability to make a tremendous impact on climate change by serving as a viable replacement for single-use plastics.

Footprint uses innovative packaging to tackle single-use plastic crisis

Approximately 150M tons of plastic packaging waste is produced globally each year. The US alone creates 80M tons of packaging waste annually, of which almost half ends up in a landfill.
Footprint’s compostable, fiber-based packaging is a viable replacement for single-use plastics, most of which are currently non-recyclable. To date, Footprint has replaced 60M pounds of single-use plastics, from shelf-stable cups to straws. Its customers include household names like McDonald’s, Beyond Meat, and Sweetgreen.
