Pringles is set to remove plastic lids from its 53g cans, replacing them with a tight foil seal.
The brand says the removal of the plastic cap will ensure a 48 per cent reduction of plastic in each can. The change in packaging is expected to remove 26 tonnes of plastic waste per year in Australia.
Kavita Desai, brand manager of snacks at Kellogg’s Australia, described the move as a “promising first step” as the brand looks to innovate and implement new ways to be more sustainable.
“While it may seem like a small change, it will have a positive impact on our environment.”
The new lidless Pringles 53g Sour Cream and Onion variety are now stocked at Coles while a lidless 53g Original variety will be available from August. The brand assures the taste, crunch and flavours of the chips will remain the same.
