38 Degrees - Walkers Crips to recycle their crisp bags
Monday August 27, 2018
BREAKING NEWS: Walkers have just announced they’re launching a scheme to recycle crisp packets! It’ll mean fewer crisp packets going to landfill or washing up on our beaches. And it’s down to you.
Walkers bosses have taken this huge step forward because of the hundreds of thousands of us who’ve been demanding action. There’s been a huge petition, thousands of messages all over Walkers’ social media, and hundreds of us grabbing the headlines by posting our packets back to Walkers. We’ve really piled on the pressure.
The new scheme will put special crisp packet recycling points across the country. It’s not perfect - Walkers need to do more to make their packets properly recyclable everywhere. But this is a huge step forward
