KP Snacks has revealed the large-scale packaging reductions it has made across its product range as it strives to meet its sustainability goals via the company’s ‘Taste for Good’ programme.
The major snacks manufacturer has introduced a series of packaging innovations to reduce its environmental impact. These have led to the packaging for its Hula Hoops range being cut by 23% – equal to 11 tonnes of plastic – whilst popchips and Tyrrells packaging are both down by 14%, or the equivalent of 23 and 43 tonnes respectively.
KP’s move to cut plastic usage includes further plans for packaging reductions across a number of the brands in its portfolio this year. Investment in new equipment that packs the products in a more efficient way has resulted in a cut of around 142 tonnes of packaging across Nik Naks, Space Raiders and Skips. Meanwhile, a further 144 tonnes will be saved thanks to packaging reductions in popchips sharing bags, Hula Hoops six-packs, Butterkist, and Hula Hoops Puft.
