Provided April 15, 2021 Chipotle Mexican Grill achieved a 51% waste-diversion rate this year through recycling, composting and waste-to-energy programs, reaching a key goal outlinedin its 2018 Sustainability Report. The work isn't done, however, according to CEO Brian Niccol, who said in a press release that the company was expanding waste-reduction programs, including its Glove to Bags program, an initiative that transforms used plastic gloves into trash bags in partnership with Revolution Bag, and the Chipotle Goods Avocado Dye Line, an open-looped collection of Chipotle apparel dyed with upcycled avocado pits from Chipotle restaurants. "Sustainability is and always will be a strategic priority for Chipotle," Niccol said in the release. "I, along with the rest of the organization, strongly believe that how we grow our food is how we grow our future."
