In 2024 we have made further big steps forward in our packaging improvement programme as part of our sustainability commitment to use as little packaging as possible. This involves cutting the packaging we use for distribution as well as re-engineering our snack packs to cut the amount of plastic film they need.
We are supporting the development of UK recycling infrastructure (see Partnerships to Improve Recycling) to ensure that all our plastic packaging can be effectively recycled, either through collection points or on the doorstep.
John Leslie, Packaging Technology Manager, KP Snacks, says: “Protecting the environment is one of the core pillars of our sustainability programme, and this includes a responsible and proactive approach to our use of plastic packaging. We are focused on reducing the volume of all the types of packaging we use as well as facilitating recycling."
KP Snacks has reduced its use of plastic packaging by 3,400 tonnes over the past ten years.
