PepsiCo’s Walkers is trialing ‘bagless’ multipack packaging with a recyclable, tape-like strip expected to reduce plastic use by 86% from the previous outer packaging design for its Snack A Jacks range.
The outer tape, which holds five individual packets, has received OPRL certification for recyclability and can be dropped off at flexible packaging collection points at various UK supermarkets.
The redesign currently applies exclusively to Walkers’ Salt & Vinegar, Sour Cream & Chive, and BBQ flavors sold at Tesco stores.
The company invested over £2 million in new equipment to expand reduced plastic packaging capabilities at its Skelmersdale site. I
PepsiCo also plans to utilize 100% recycled or renewable plastic in all its crisp packets, including Walkers, Doritos, and Lay’s brands, by 2030.
