Brown Bag Crisps: Easy-to-Recycle Snacks
Most of us like munching on crisps (and you can now recycle bags at supermarket bag recycling bins, as crisp packs are one of the most common form of litter).
Crisps are choking hazards for young children, also don’t give leftovers to pets, garden birds or wildfowl, due to salt and garlic. Read more on food safety for people and pets.
Brown Bag Crisps use local potatoes. You can drop off packs at supermarket bag bins. Or save up and ‘Freepost Brownbagcrisps’ on the envelope and they’ll recycle them for you.
This Surrey-based independent company never sells in traditional supermarkets. So look for the brand in local health shops and farm stores, or order online.
Most crisps from this brand use natural, plant-based ingredients. Made with potatoes, sunflower oil, and special natural flavours. This clarity helps those with dietary restrictions or strong ethical choices enjoy crisps without reading every label in the shop.
The vegan-friendly flavours are:
- Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar
- Beetroot, Carrot & Parsnip
- Lightly Salted
- Oak-Smoked Chilli
- Rosemary Sea Salt
Although millions of people in England enjoy a bag of crisps, most brands contain way too much salt (‘green light’ recommendations are usually for mini-bags or small portions of bigger bags). Child nutritionists say the best choice is Kettle Unsalted Chips.
