We’re always looking for ways to reduce our footprint—by using energy wisely, cutting down on waste, and recycling more. From updating our plants and rethinking our packaging to making our logistics smarter, we’re working to build a business that’s better for the planet and stronger for the future.

Reduce our Impacts

We’re committed to making Utz snacks in a way that’s better for the planet—by using energy and resources more efficiently. In 2024, we cut our overall emissions by consolidating plants, upgrading equipment, and improving transport. We keep a close eye on our footprint and regularly audit our operations in an attempt to keep improving.

Combat Climate Change

At Utz, we’re doing our part to help combat climate change. Guided by our Environmental Policy, we’re cutting emissions and using energy and transportation more efficiently across our operations.

Since 2022, we’ve reduced emissions from our facilities and fleet (Scope 1 and 2) by nearly 25%, thanks to upgrades like more efficient equipment, streamlined logistics, and plant consolidation. In 2024 alone, our total operational emissions were 81,439 metric tons of CO₂e—and we’re working to bring that number down every year.

Save it

From farm to fryer to shelf, we rely on natural resources to make the snacks you love—and we’re doing our part to use them wisely. In 2024, we kept 86% of our general waste out of landfills by reusing, recycling, and donating wherever possible. Leftover food was turned into animal feed, used cooking oil was reprocessed, and potato starch found a second life in industrial uses. We look for smart, sustainable ways to cut waste and conserve water—because every little bit counts.
