Chipotle Mexican Grill says it achieved a 51% diversion rate through recycling, composting, and waste-to-energy programs in 2020. Chipotle says it will continue to expand its waste diversion methods, including its Gloves to Bags program, which transforms used plastic gloves into trash bags in partnership with Revolution Bag, and its Avocado Dye Line, an open-looped collection of apparel dyed with upcycled avocado pits from Chipotle restaurants.
Chipotle plans to reduce overall waste by another 5% by 2025, compared to a 2020 baseline.
The company also saved an estimated 65,000 megawatt hours of energy, offset 3,875 tons of carbon emissions, and purchased about 22% of its electricity from renewable sources in 2020, according to its latest sustainability report.
