Snackbrands Australia Sustainability Actions

Cut plastic in wrappers

Snackbrands says it removed 7% of the plastic from its Nice and Natural wrappers in 2024, which it says equals about 5,000 kg less plastic each year. It also says it is working to reduce unnecessary packaging, use more recycled material, and design snacks with recycling in mind. This is a packaging change aimed at lowering waste rather than changing the product itself.

Joined packaging schemes

The company says it supports the National Plastics Recycling Scheme, which works on kerbside collection of soft plastics in Australia, and it is a signatory to the Australian Packaging Covenant, a national packaging program that asks companies to reduce packaging impacts. These steps show it is taking part in wider industry efforts on packaging waste and recycling.

Set climate reduction targets

Snackbrands says it has signed up to the Science Based Targets initiative, or SBTi, which is a system for setting climate goals based on the Paris Agreement. It says it plans to cut operational emissions by 50% and supply chain emissions by 30% from 2021 to 2032. The company also says it is taking steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across its business.

Reduced water and waste

SustainabilityTracker says Snackbrands Australia has cut water use by 20% at its Smithfield site and now turns over 80% of its waste into compost and stock feed. This suggests the company has made progress on resource use and waste handling at at least one site, although the source is a directory summary rather than a full audit report.

Built a more efficient site

Snackbrands says it invested in a new manufacturing site at Orchard Hills with more efficient equipment. A third-party case study says the company also consolidated two warehouses into one 30,255 square metre distribution centre, which improved storage and cut truck turnaround times from 60 minutes to 20 minutes. These changes point to better logistics and less operational waste.
