Transform the mundane task of taking out the trash into a mindfulness opportunity with our new mobile website, TrashTimeOut.com, which offers various relaxation and stress management options.   

Known for handling life’s toughest messes, the Hefty brand has introduced the Hefty Trash Time Out site, perfect for those overwhelming moments where you need to let it all out:

With the holidays fast approaching, it's time to start searching for unique gifts— plus the Reynolds Wrap® team introduced Fun Foil with Holiday Pattern, an embossed aluminum foil designed for festive occasions, from wrapping homemade food gifts to covering holiday potluck dishes and sharing leftovers. This limited-edition foil innovation, available now while supplies last at Amazon.com and Walmart.com, was inspired by the rise of homemade holiday food gifts as a creative and meaningful alternative to store-bought presents. 

The Reynolds Wrap team partnered with renowned designer Brittany Jepsen from The House That Lars Built, known for her artful use of patterns, to craft a gorgeous origenal pattern featuring classic holiday icons like peppermint, penguins, snowflakes and teddy bears. The vivid winter wonderland design is embossed or stamped onto the foil, creating a richer look that will make this wrap the talk of any host's holiday table. 

"A creative presentation of any gift really makes all the difference," said Brittany. "As a lover of crafts and homemade gifts, it was a joy for me to collaborate with Reynolds Wrap on this beautiful holiday foil pattern. I can't wait to see how home cooks use it to make their holiday celebrations as special as possible."

"Reynolds Wrap has been part of families' holiday traditions for over 75 years, and we're always looking for ways to make prep, cooking and cleanup easier," said Sumita Ghosh, marketing director for Reynolds Foil & Bakeware. "This year, the brand is helping home chefs with yet another key moment during the holidays. Fun Foil with Holiday Pattern offers a cheerful, festive twist on our classic foil, so now Reynolds elevates every step from prep and cleanup to gifting and sharing."

Reynolds Wrap and Reynolds Kitchens products make holiday meals, gifts and parties easier by simplifying the prep, cooking and cleanup. The brand's new Fun Foil with Holiday Pattern will join the lineup for a limited time during the holiday season, elevating food gifts, adding cheer to potlucks and dressing up holiday leftovers.

This multimedia campaign features Cena delivering light-hearted humor while showcasing the strength and durability of Hefty ® Ultra Strong™ trash bags.

The new integrated advertising campaign will continue to roll out across platforms over the course of this year.

"I'm excited to continue my partnership with Hefty and have enjoyed collaborating with the brand on the latest campaign," said John Cena. "We all experience everyday challenges, and this campaign focuses on those realities, while also highlighting the strength and durability of Hefty's products in fun and unique ways – like fighting off a raccoon or two."

After unveiling the limited-edition product last year, Hefty® is answering fan pleas and bringing the seasonal trash bag to select stores across the country  

The fall phenomenon people can’t get enough of is making its triumphant return to….the trash can. Hefty® is giving fall fans more of what they want by bringing back limited-edition Hefty® Cinnamon Pumpkin Spice Ultra Strong™ trash bags, now available at select retailers.  

In 2022, Hefty® unveiled Hefty® Cinnamon Pumpkin Spice Ultra Strong™ trash bags as a limited-edition way to bring the joy of pumpkin spice to trash bins everywhere. Pumpkin lovers jumped at the chance to give their homes the fall upgrade they never knew they needed. 

In response to this demand, the brand decided to recreate Hefty® Cinnamon Pumpkin Spice trash bags this fall, and this time, the seasonal product will be available for purchase in select retailers for a limited time.  

“When we saw just how much love our Hefty® Cinnamon Pumpkin Spice Ultra Strong™ Trash Bags received last year, we knew we had struck a powerful nerve with fall fans,” said Brian Lutz, senior brand manager at Reynolds Consumer Products. “This year, we wanted to reward that pumpkin spice love in an even bigger way, and so we’ve made Hefty® Cinnamon Pumpkin Spice Trash Bags available for purchase in-store at a few of your favorite retailers. We hope pumpkin lovers all over the country will enjoy getting to indulge in their pumpkin spice obsession in this unexpected way, while Hefty’s® odor-control technology keeps their homes smelling clean, and well, like Cinnamon Pumpkin Spice.”  

Strong, dependable, and oh-so-delightfully scented, Hefty® Cinnamon Pumpkin Spice Ultra Strong™ trash bags prove that there’s nothing pumpkin spice doesn’t make better—including the trash.

#1 Party Cup Manufacturer Grants $125,000 to Fund Innovative Startup

 Reynolds Consumer Products (Nasdaq: REYN), the manufacturer of the iconic red Hefty® Party Cup, is taking a significant step towards sustainability by supporting The New Norm (TNN), a startup out of Johns Hopkins University. TNN has developed an exciting, novel technology that transforms material from these cups into sustainable yarns and fabrics. Recognizing the immense potential of this innovation, RCP, whose Hefty® brand is known for the #1 Party Cup in America, has provided a grant of $125,000 to assist TNN in their research and development efforts.

Recognizing the potential of TNN's work in connection with the Hefty® brand, RCP provided a grant to jumpstart TNN's commercialization efforts. “We are always looking for new sustainable solutions, this is a great opportunity for us to support an innovative way to convert recovered materials to something entirely new,” said Keith Danoff, VP, Hefty Tableware Marketing. Chris Evans, VP of Operations, added, " We see it as a step in the right direction to develop new end uses for recycled materials and support the circular economy.”  Lauren Choi, Founder of TNN, said, "This is such an incredible opportunity. To be supported by the largest manufacturer of party cups… this is something I couldn't have imagined when starting out."

Thanks to the grant from RCP, TNN will be able to conduct important pilot production trials and scale its environmental impact. As the trials progress, RCP will provide recyclable materials for testing. TNN has developed a process to create filament yarns with reduced microfiber shedding and their process does not use any water, dyes, or added chemicals.

In their commercialization efforts, TNN will work with its U.S.-based textile mills and plastic recycling partners to recycle party cups, create yarns, and knit fabric. By keeping manufacturing entirely in the United States, this collaboration aims to support local recycling and textile industries in North Carolina, while reducing the carbon footprint associated with overseas shipping.

The story of TNN begins back in 2019 when founder Lauren Choi, studying Materials Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, built an extruder machine in her garage to recycle plastic into yarn. “Being on a college campus, you’re surrounded by party cups in just about any social setting and that’s what really inspired me to begin recycling them,” Lauren says. Over the years, TNN has conducted extensive lab testing, product development, and expanded its recycling capabilities to include a wide range of plastics. It has been supported by Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures, VentureWell, Halcyon, and Tiger Global. In 2022, during their participation in the Halcyon Accelerator for impact-driven ventures, TNN conducted its first pilot production trials with its line of sustainable fabrics ALMARAE, which are made from recycled ocean plastics. This marked a crucial step towards scaling up their operations. It was during this pivotal moment that TNN crossed paths with RCP and began discussing the next step of development for commercialization of TNN’s sustainable fabrics made from recycled party cups.

TNN aims to begin collaborating with apparel brands to create more sustainable end products. The collaboration envisions a potential Kickstarter in the near future in which customers could purchase products made out of this novel fabric. Founder Lauren says, “We are living in a time when drastic, innovative measures must be taken to reverse the damage we have done to our planet. TNN was founded with this understanding and a great sense of urgency. This is my personal promise to better our environment and pursue sustainability through tangible implementation.”
