Nackard Pepsi is a leader in sustainability, earning the 2025 Flagstaff Green Business Award for its impactful recycling and waste reduction initiatives. Through its innovative recycling program, the company has diverted over 317,834 pounds of material—185,000 pounds in 2024 alone—by collecting plastic, cardboard, tin, HDPE, and aluminum from customers. A $67,000 ADEQ grant enabled the addition of a high-capacity baler, further expanding efforts. Beyond recycling, Nackard Pepsi backhauls compost from the Grand Canyon South Rim, diverting 15,000+ pounds of food waste. The company also enhances energy efficiency, converting 80% of in-house lighting to LED. Certified as a Flagstaff Green Business in 2024, Nackard Pepsi continues to drive sustainability through community engagement and responsible operations.
