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.

PepsiCo also plans to utilize 100% recycled or renewable plastic in all its crisp packets, including Walkers, Doritos, and Lay’s brands, by 2030.
