<\/p>\nWALKERS has made a huge change to its Baked multipacks – but it's left some fans confused. <\/p>\n
From today October 26, Walkers will be rolling out Walkers Baked multipacks with the outer packaging entirely made out of paper.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The brand\u2019s parent company PepsiCo says the move forms part of its health and sustainability transformation plan which includes an ambition of reaching net zero emissions by 2040.<\/p>\n
After trialling the paper packaging in 800 Tesco stores, PepsiCo says it's now ready to roll them out in all major supermarkets over the coming months.<\/p>\n
The company also has plans to eliminate all \u201cvirgin fossil-based\u201d plastic amongst all of its other brands which include Snack A Jacks, Doritos, Quavers and Wotsits.<\/p>\n
Walkers is yet to confirm if other crisp packs will go through the same change in the future, however. <\/p>\n Shoppers took to X, previously known as Twitter, to share their delight – and confusion – at the news.<\/p>\n One user said: \u201cYay, well done Walkers for making your outer packaging paper.\u201d<\/p>\n However, some fans were a little confused as to exactly what their role was in the move.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Another user asked: \u201cHow do I recycle this? It says it\u2019s recyclable but doesn't tell me how.\u201d<\/p>\n Walkers have said the new multipack paper packaging can be recycled with other paper packaging in home recycling bins.<\/p>\n This comes after the snack producers rolled out cardboard outer packaging for millions of Walkers 22 and 24-bag multipacks.<\/p>\n They currently trialling new "bagless" Snack A Jacks multipacks, using a tape-like strip to hold together individual packets.<\/p>\n Gareth Callan, sustainable packaging lead at PepsiCo UK and Ireland, said: "We are constantly innovating new ways to remove virgin plastic in our packaging. It\u2019s exciting to see our successful trial of this paper pack lead to a nationwide roll-out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAt this scale, the new packaging will deliver a huge reduction in virgin plastic, while also helping to lower our carbon footprint.\u201d<\/p>\n PepsiCo are one of many brands that have made the move from plastic to paper.<\/p>\n Fast food giant McDonald\u2019s has completely cut back on their plastic packaging deploying new paper-based cups, lids and cutlery.<\/p>\n The company said it has already reduced virgin fossil fuel-based plastic in Happy Meal toys by 47.8%.<\/p>\n In August Aldi ditched the colour codes on their milk packaging in a bid to help the environment. <\/p>\n Coca-Cola has also started rolling out new caps on its bottles to ensure they end up\u00a0in recycling bins.<\/p>\n However, fans were not pleased when they learned that Nestle was moving from its traditional plastic wrapping to new waxed paper.\u00a0<\/p>\n Shoppers can expect to see the new Walkers packaging in stores over the next few months but the price will stay the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n At the moment Tesco has the six-pack going for \u00a31.65 while Sainsbury's is selling them for a little more at \u00a32.20.<\/p>\n The\u00a0LatestDeals app\u00a0has a supermarket price comparison feature that will compare prices across all major supermarkets\u00a0including stores like Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Aldi.<\/p>\n Trolly.co.uk\u00a0can tell you where to find the cheapest deals from a range of stores like\u00a0B&M, Aldi and Tesco.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/newspress-collage-24531303-1698316947371.jpg\")
