Ohio EPA Director Craig W. Butler visited Frito-Lay in Wooster, Ohio on
August 20th to recognize the company for its continuing effort in
environmental stewardship. He toured the plant and recognized the
company for being one of the first businesses to earn a silver level
award under Ohio EPA's Encouraging Environmental Excellence (E3)
program.
Corporate Sustainability Performance with Purpose is PepsiCo’s vision
to deliver top-tier financial performance over the long term by integrating
sustainability into our business strategy
• Products
• Planet
• People
Planet Environmental Sustainability means finding innovative
ways to cut costs and minimize our impact on the
environment through energy and water conservation as
well as reduced use of packaging material.
We anticipated the need to take environmental
stewardship to a whole new level at the start of the new
millennium, recognizing that environmental sustainability
was becoming a core component of sustainable
success. We began to put in place the systems,
processes and metrics needed to drive continuous
improvement in energy and water conservation as well
as packaging and waste reduction.

and plan a change.
Do o Test the change. Carry out a
small-scale study.
Check o Review the test, analyze the
results and identify what you’ve learned.
Act o Take action based on what you
learned. If the change did not work, go through the cycle again with a different plan. If you were successful, incorporate what you learned from the test into wider changes. Use what you learned to plan new improvements, beginning the cycle again.

Water is reused to clean
potatoes in the Flume
Area. This system,
designed by our
employees, allows dirt particles to separate and
water to be reused for
potato washing. The solids
are removed and composted which reduces
TSS/COD discharged in our
wastewater to the City of Wooster.
The dry cleaning method is encouraged by Frito-Lay.
Use a broom to clean-up instead of spraying product down the drain
