Snack brand wins award

KP Snacks has been awarded the Zero Waste Platinum Award at the 11th annual Awards for Excellence in Recycling and Waste Management.

In 2012 KP Snacks achieved zero waste to landfill across all eight of its UK sites. Staff workshops, training sessions and poster campaigns helped to maintain focus on waste initiatives, while KP has also worked with its suppliers to reduce secondary packaging and has seen major reductions in food waste.

Mark Thorpe, managing director of operations at KP Snacks, says: “We are absolutely delighted that our efforts have been recognised with this award.

“Corporate social responsibility is a major pillar of our business vision and strategy and keeping waste reduction front of mind with our colleagues helps us deliver that vision. It also generates significant cost savings that contribute to the long-term success of KP Snacks. Our pursuit of reduced waste at every level of our business continues.”
