Hostess Donuts has over 20,000 factories and 565 distribution centers in the US that use around 10,000 trucks, contributing significantly to air pollution. Their packaging is not recyclable and adds to plastic pollution problems like the North Pacific Gyre. To improve conditions, Hostess could build new factories with lower toxicity, use more eco-friendly and biodegradable packaging, and encourage recycling.
