PepsiCo adds paper multibag packaging to Snack A Jacks range
PepsiCo-owned Walkers is extending its paper multibag innovation to Snack A Jacks. The new paper outer bag is set to reduce use of virgin plastic by 65 tonnes per year. It can be recycled along with other paper packaging in home recycling bins.
The new packaging is available across Snack A Jacks Salt & Vinegar, Sour Cream & Chive, and BBQ Flavours.
“Our outer paper multibag packs are working well on Walkers Baked, giving us the confidence to roll out this format across more of our snacks brands,” said Gareth Callan, UK packaging sustainability lead at PepsiCo. “The new packaging will help further reduce our non-fossil plastic use, while also helping to lower our carbon footprint as we work towards our commitment to creating a world where packaging never becomes waste”.
Across PepsiCo Europe, the company plans to eliminate fossil-based plastic in crisp and snack bags by 2030.
