Kellanova Reduces Plastic in Packaging of Three Popular Snack Brands
Kellanova, a leader in global snacking, international cereal and noodles, and North America frozen foods with a legacy stretching back more than 100 years, has announced that three popular snack brands; Cheez-It® Snap’d®, Cheez-It® Puff’d® and Club® Crisps, have reduced the amount of plastic used in their packaging (compared to the same volume last year), while maintaining the same amount of product in each package. The packaging designs were optimized, reducing the total material weight for these three foods by 672,000 pounds, reducing 124,000 pounds of plastic and reducing 548,000 pounds of corrugated cardboard used for shipping cases (annually).
“Kellanova (formerly Kellogg Company) envisions a day where the planet thrives,” said Janelle Meyers, Chief Sustainability Officer. “[These] popular snack brands have reduced the amount of plastic used in their packaging, while maintaining the same amount of delicious food in each package.”
