'A British chip company is leading the way in making strides toward reducing
plastic pollution — one recyclable bag at a time.
The British Crisp Co.'s new chip bags, developed with sustainable packaging
supplier EvoPak, are made of paper coated in a plastic alternative that's
touted as being completely biodegradable. Packaging World reported that this is
a "first for the format."
"We have developed a unique paper which has the potential to revolutionize
packaging as we know it," said Daniel McAlister of EvoPak, per Packaging World.
"And [it] costs the same as existing materials."
"Brits consume over eight billion packets of crisps each year, the majority of
which are not recyclable and end up in landfill or incinerators," said Tom
Lock, British Crisp CEO. "That's a lot of waste and a huge environmental
problem."'
