Cut plastic in snack wrappers

In 2024, Snack Brands Australia says it removed 7% of the plastic from its Nice and Natural wrappers. The company says this equals about 5,000 kilograms less plastic each year. It presents this as part of a wider effort to reduce packaging waste and use less material where it can. The change is meant to lower the amount of plastic used without changing the snack itself.

Backed soft-plastic recycling

The company says it supports the National Plastics Recycling Scheme, which works on kerbside collection of soft plastics in Australia. Soft plastics are flexible packaging like wrappers and bags, which are harder to recycle than rigid plastic. Snack Brands Australia links this support to building a local circular economy, meaning materials are kept in use for longer instead of being thrown away after one use.

Joined climate target initiative

Snack Brands Australia says it has signed up to the Science Based Targets initiative, or SBTi, which helps companies set climate goals based on the Paris Agreement. It says it is working to cut operational emissions by 50% and supply chain emissions by 30% from 2021 to 2032. Operational emissions are the pollution from its own sites and activities, while supply chain emissions come from suppliers and transport.

Invested in local manufacturing

The company says it has invested in a new manufacturing site at Orchard Hills in Australia. It says the site includes more efficient equipment and is meant to reduce waste and support higher environmental standards. Local manufacturing can also shorten some supply chains, which may help reduce transport impacts, although the company does not give a full emissions breakdown for the site.

Reduced packaging and recycled content

Snack Brands Australia says it is working to remove unnecessary packaging, increase the amount of recycled material in its packs, and design snacks with recycling in mind. It also says it is trying to reduce plastic because packaging helps keep food safe and hygienic. The company frames this as an ongoing packaging redesign effort rather than a finished result.

Food safety certifications in place

The company says it has achieved Global Food Safety Initiative certifications, often called GFSI certifications. GFSI is a global benchmark for food safety systems used by many food businesses. This is not an environmental certification, but it does show the company is using formal standards for product safety and quality in its manufacturing and distribution.
