Quesada is distinguishing itself as Canada's first Mexican chain to phase out foil burrito packaging in favor of biodegradable paper burrito wrappers. With this roll out of biodegradable burrito packaging this spring, Quesada is on a mission to diverting about 100,000 pounds of aluminum (or 12.5 million foil wraps) from landfills over the next five years.

As traditional aluminum foil packaging can take about 400 years to break down, Quesada is introducing a more sustainable solution so that people can enjoy the burritos they love without accumulating needless waste.

To support a sustainable future, for a limited time, the chain will also be donating a portion of sales from all plant-based menu items to the David Suzuki Foundation.
