The Snack A Jacks multipacks have received a packaging overhaul by Walkers in the UK as part of the brand's commitment to reducing its use of virgin plastic materials. The new paper outer bag packaging will see the amount of virgin plastic used decreased by 65 tonnes each year and is also suitable for being recycled from home. The packaging format will be making its way to the market next month across the brand's entire lineup of flavors including Sour Cream & Chive, Salt & Vinegar and BBQ.
Marketing Manager Hannah Freeman commented on the updated Snack A Jacks multipacks packaging saying, "As the UK’s favourite rice cake brand, we’re proud to be introducing even more reasons to love our delicious snacks. Easily recycled with your usual household paper recycling, these new outer packs can be disposed of thoughtfully with little fuss. We hope our devoted fans of Snack A Jacks will enjoy this small but important change we’ve made to make their snacking experience even more enjoyable at home.”
