To make the best snacks on earth Frito-Lay® understands the need to protect the earth. That is why Frito-Lay has joined eco-friendly innovator TerraCycle® to provide a second life for used chip bags.
Frito-Lay has been working for years to reduce every aspect of their environmental impact, especially their packaging (learn more at www.fritolay.com). Now, every time you enjoy any chip bag be sure to save the bag and send it in to TerraCycle to be converted into unique products! For each approved chip bag received, your collection location will be awarded two TerraCycle points which can be redeemed for a variety of charitable gifts, or for a payment of $0.01 per point to the non-profit organization or school of your choice. Please click here to learn more about the TerraCycle Points Program!
Participating in a TerraCycle Brigade is totally free! There are no signup or participation fees, and the shipping is covered by the program. Once you have joined the Chip Bag Brigade®, simply follow the steps below to receive your TerraCycle points:
- Collect enough approved chip bags to fill up a box or bag (approved waste is listed below). Remember, the waste does not need to be cleaned or stacked, and always try to reuse a shipping box or bag! Please note, you will need to send shipments that contain at least 350 chip bags (or 5 lbs) in order to receive the TerraCycle point donation.
- Download a pre-paid shipping label from terracycle.com. To acquire a pre-paid label, simply access your TerraCycle account online, and click “SHIP US YOUR WASTE”. You can print them out yourself or request that TerraCycle send the label.
- Ship the box to TerraCycle by affixing the pre-paid postage label and dropping it off at a UPS location.
