Sustainability and Social Impact
- The majority of MegaFood’s products, our tablets and capsules, come in amber glass bottles - which contain 30% recycled glass content and because they are glass, are considered optimally recyclable. Our gummies are packaged in PET, plastic resin code number 1, which can be recycled, however, is not optimized due the plastic label. Please check with your local recycling centers to be sure these materials are accepted in your area.
- Our chews comes in multi-layer plastic pouches which are not optimized for recycling
- To address our plastic footprint, MegaFood is now Plastic Neutral Certified. That means for every ounce of plastic purchased from us, we collect and recycle the same amount of nature-bound plastic pollution. We do this with our new plastic neutral partner, rePurpose Global.

- What’s next? By 2025, the brand's goal is to move towards more sustainable materials as we continue to address packaging waste.
- In 2019, MegaFood presented a petition of over 80,000 signatures to the EPA requesting a ban on the use of glyphosate as a drying agent in oats. While the EPA did not follow through with a ban, the campaign elevated awareness of the glyphosate issue. MegaFood was the first supplement company to have its products certified Glyphosate Residue Free by the Detox Project.
- MegaFood is proud to be B Corp Certified, which means we lead by using business as a force for good and demonstrate high social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
