Takis®, the iconic brand known for its intensely good spicy rolled tortilla chip, has teamed up with international recycling leader TerraCycle to launch the Takis® Snacks Free Recycling Challenge just in time for back-to-school season.

This challenge encourages students, teachers, and communities to recycle their Takis® Snacks packaging for free, contributing to a cleaner environment with the added bonus of a chance to win some exciting prizes.

How the Challenge Works:

  • Duration: August 19th through November 18th, 2024

  • How to Participate: Sign up here, download a free shipping label, and send your Takis® Snacks packaging to TerraCycle for free

  • Prizes: The top 3 schools that recycle the most will receive grand prizes, including a garden bed, compost bin, flower planters all made from recycled materials, as well as Takis® x TerraCycle collection boxes. Thirty individual participants will also win Takis®-branded backpacks, pencil cases, friendship bracelets, and, of course, snacks!

"Through our partnership with Takis for the Back-To-School Recycling Challenge, students, teachers, and communities can make a significant impact on their local environment," said Tom Szaky, Founder & CEO of TerraCycle. "By recycling Takis snack packaging, participants help reduce waste and deepen their understanding of sustainability, all while having the chance to win exciting prizes."

Takis® is also collaborating with Kraft Mac & Cheese to bring fans a cheesy, spicy back-to-school combo. As part of their joint sweepstakes, anyone can enter for a chance to win a Takis®-themed backpack filled with Kraft Mac & Cheese products – perfect for lunchboxes this season. Those who purchase Takis® Fuego Mini Bags and Kraft Mac & Cheese at select retailers will receive a special coupon. See here for official rules and submit your entry to win.

"With 81% of shoppers making food items a key part of their back-to-school purchases, we're committed to helping consumers intensify their pantries while caring for our planet and its future," said Sandra Kirkpatrick, Senior Marketing Director for Takis®. "This fall, we're combining intensity with sustainability, empowering our fans to turn empty snack bags into something really special."
