KP Snacks has announced a 25% cut in plastic packaging across its Tyrrells range.
It claims the new packaging will save 113 tonnes of plastic per year and follows a 410-tonne plastic packaging reduction across KP Snacks brands in 2021.
Consumers will be made aware of the reduction through a flash on pack, featuring the message, “We’re taking action with 25% less packaging.”
Dan Winslet, global Tyrrells marketing controller, said: “The new packaging reduction is key to the Tyrrells brand, and we are delighted to be championing not only great taste and quality but also sustainability. We know that protecting the environment is a top priority, motivating purchasing decisions and we’re glad to be supporting both shoppers and our retail partners by slashing our plastic usage.”
Nicola Robinson, head of sustainability, added: “As a category leader, KP Snacks is dedicated to continuing to reduce plastic packaging as much as possible across our portfolio, while also focusing on supporting the development of recycling infrastructure in the UK. Last year, we joined the Flexible Plastic Fund, a cross-industry collaboration working towards a long-term vision of a circular economy for flexible plastics. This is an important step towards closing the loop on packaging materials as we seek to protect and preserve our environment.”
