At Kettle Foods, we consciously use the healthiest sunflower and safflower oils, which is why we think it's fitting that we run a growing fleet of company vehicles on distilled vegetable oil, known as biodiesel. In fact, 100% of the waste vegetable oil from our production process is converted into biodiesel. This rich nectar that we like to call "Flower Power®" is a natural alternative to petroleum diesel fuel. Its use benefits all of us by saving as much as 8 tons in CO₂ emissions every year.

Q: How many Kettle™ brand chips does it take to run a car?

A: On average, for every 7,600 bags of Kettle™ brand potato chips we produce, we create one gallon of waste vegetable oil. This waste vegetable oil is stored in a tank and, when enough accumulates, it is picked up and taken to a biodiesel production facility. That facility can make one gallon of 100% biodiesel for every gallon of waste oil we give them. 100% biodiesel can be used in any diesel engine, like in our fleet of bio-beetles!
