Our farmers do more than grow delicious popcorn kernels…
We’re working to reduce our environmental impact by adapting the way we farm to make happy snacking moments extra happy.
We’re aiming to grow 100% of our popcorn kernels with cover crops by 2030.(ONLY applicable to brands 100% Natais popcorn)
Cover crops are plants that grow between harvests, instead of leaving the soil bare, waiting for the next crop. By covering these bare fields with cover crops, like sorghum and fava beans, we can bring benefits to the air, soil and living creatures (above and below ground) that surround our fields.
Cover crops capture CO2 (carbon dioxide) during photosynthesis, break it down and then store some of the carbon in the soil. When plants do this, they’re removing CO2 from the atmosphere. The bigger the plant, the more carbon captured!
Over time, cover crops work to enrich the soil and restore its natural fertility. This can help to support the growth of our corn crops. For example, did you know that fava beans, one of the winter cover crops, have strong roots that are great for building soil structure, which in turn protects against erosion?.
When fields are bare, there is little nourishment available for living things. By using cover crops, we’re providing food and shelter

At Chio, we strive to bring customers tasty and high-quality snacks. At the same time, we’re working to make our products not only healthier but also as safe as possible.
We use plastic bags because they offer the best protection for our products against damage and contamination while keeping them fresh for longer. However, to reduce the environmental impact of packaging, we’ve committed to switching to packaging that can be reused or fully recycled. This means reducing the amount of plastic used, eliminating unnecessary packaging components, and ensuring that all plastic packaging can be effectively recycled.
To reduce packaging materials, our developers continuously look for ways to make our packaging smaller, thinner, and lighter.
To improve recyclability:
Ink production and printing processes consume a lot of energy. By reducing the amount of ink we use, we also lower the energy demand for packaging production. This helps reduce the environmental footprint of our packaging.
We actively participate in various projects and collaborate with other organizations that are working to improve waste sorting and recycling. Our current partners include Ceflex, WRAP UK, and Holy Grail 2.0.

The data was compiled based on food-analytical data. This information always refers to the current recipe. Due to the continuous improvement of our products, it may happen that both newly and previously labeled products are available on the market at the same time. Therefore, the decisive factor is the list of ingredients shown on the packaging of the respective Chio product.
