Chip chip hooray: Sustainable snack packs
Jan 2019Snacks are among the top food categories in terms of high-profit margins. As consumers’ lifestyles turn more hectic traditional meal times have changed and snacking is almost no longer considered optional. Consumers are seeking healthy, indulgent and convenient solutions that fit their busy lifestyles. Plastics continue to account for a big part of the packaging used for snacks. Companies such as Futamura, Parkside Flexibles and TIPA Corp, have developed commercialized compostable packaging materials, to combat the problem of plastic waste. Furthermore, companies are looking to enhance their “sustainability quotient” by switching to recyclable materials such as paper packets and cardboard tubs, in an effort to assuage the concerns of ethically minded consumers.
Bibigo Brown Rice Seaweed Crisps With Honey And Corn Flavor (South Korea). Bibigo’s rice-based seaweed snacks are representative of the healthy taste of Korean traditional seaweed and are baked in the oven, as opposed to being fried. The product is held in a recyclable plastic stand-up pouch. The pouch features tear nicks at the top and middle of the packaging.
