CHIPOTLE LAUNCHES FREE GUACAMOLE CONTEST, FOCUSES ON DIGITAL ORDERS
The restaurant chain noted that it is one of the largest buyers of Global Organic Textile Standard cotton in the U.S., supporting organic cotton farmers since 2012.
Chipotle is also one of the largest restaurant purchasers of avocados and is left with nearly 300 million avocado pits a year in its restaurants. Each piece of the Chipotle Goods Line requires five avocado pits, which is equivalent to five orders of guacamole, depending on the season and size of the fruit.
Chipotle is launching a responsibly sourced line of Chipotle Goods, made with organic cotton, and branded accessories. Today Chipotle Rewards’ 15 million members will have first access to the collection by using a special password shared via email. T
Many items in the line are created by Chipotle's uniform partner, Loomstate, which says that purchasing apparel made with organic cotton will prevent the use of "a significant amount of synthetic pesticides." Loomstate estimates that, in 2019 alone, Chipotle's purchase of uniforms made with organic cotton prevented approximately 1.7 million pounds of synthetic pesticides from being used.
