After five years of development, Kellogg’s has launched a new 100% paper (excluding lid) Pringles packaging to replace the previous steel base. These new paper tubes can now be disposed of with paper and cardboard for recycling.

Our readers said:

Lidl, in partnership with Algramo, is offering in-store automated refill stations for liquid laundry detergents in smart HDPE bottles as part of a six-month trial.

Our readers said: 

”It is bringing refill to the mainstream customer. Not a high-end ‘eco-conscious’ brand but a basic own-brand label like Formil means refill is accessible to a far wider section of the market. I appreciate the simplicity of their solution, the way it fits nicely on the shelf next to traditional products and I also appreciate their public communication efforts which have made it understandable to a customer not generally motivated by sustainability.”
