Cut plastic in wrappers

In 2024, Snackbrands said it removed 7% of the plastic from its Nice and Natural wrappers. It said this meant about 5,000 kilograms less plastic each year. The company also said it is trying to remove packaging it does not need, use more recycled material, and design snacks with recycling in mind. These steps are aimed at reducing packaging waste and making packs easier to recycle.

Backed soft plastic recycling

Snackbrands said it supports the National Plastics Recycling Scheme, which works on kerbside collections for soft plastics in Australia. Soft plastics are flexible plastics like snack wrappers that are hard to recycle through normal systems. The company linked this support to building a circular economy, which means keeping materials in use for longer instead of throwing them away after one use.

Invested in Orchard Hills site

The company said it invested in a new manufacturing site at Orchard Hills. It said the site uses newer, more efficient equipment and helps reduce waste while lifting environmental standards. This is an operational change, not just a policy statement, because it affects how snacks are made and how much waste the site creates.

Published climate targets

Snackbrands said it signed up to the Science Based Targets initiative, or SBTi, which helps companies set climate goals that match the Paris Agreement. It said it aims 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, while supply chain emissions come from suppliers and transport.

Improved water and waste use

SustainabilityTracker says Snackbrands reduced water use by 20% at its Smithfield site and turned over 80% of its waste into compost and stock feed. Compost is organic material that breaks down into soil-like matter, while stock feed is food for animals. These figures suggest the company has made measurable progress in resource use at one site.

Held food safety certifications

Snackbrands says it has Global Food Safety Initiative certifications. The Global Food Safety Initiative, or GFSI, is a group that sets common food safety standards used by many retailers and manufacturers. This is not an environmental certification, but it is part of the company’s wider sustainability and responsibility messaging because it relates to safe and well-managed production.
