Hostess Brands, Inc. is determined to work with its supply chain department and come up with innovative solutions to reduce packaging. The brand aims to do so by implementing new shipping methods, reusable displays at retail shops, and reducing packaging weight. The company has made significant changes across its packaging portfolio, for instance, launching 100% recyclable cardboard and folding cartons and delivering 80% of packages made of reusable material.
