Parkside supplies compostable packs for Two Farmers

Parkside has supplied industrially compostable flexible packaging for Two Farmers' Herefordshire Sauce crisp launch, the artisan brand's first permanent new flavor in several years and a central part of its new product development focus for 2026.

The packaging is made from renewable feedstocks, reducing reliance on petrochemical plastics, and is independently tested and accredited to international composting standards. At the end of life, packs can be processed at industrial composting facilities or discarded in domestic waste streams, where local authorities permit. The packaging also carries carbon-neutral certification.

Two Farmers, which grows its own potatoes on Herefordshire farms, has worked with Parkside across its full crisp range on the basis of shared sustainability values. The Herefordshire Sauce launch extends that partnership to a new SKU, with bold pack design intended to maintain strong shelf presence without compromising on sustainability credentials.

'The combination of renewable feedstocks, independent composting accreditation and vibrant print quality shows what responsible packaging innovation looks like in practice,' said Ian McManus, sales account manager at Parkside. 'Performing brilliantly, carrying the brand story with confidence and doing so with genuine sustainability credentials behind it.'

The launch also coincides with further sustainability development at Two Farmers, which has invested in a new granulator to break down compostable crisp packets into fragments. These are combined with production waste and fed into an on-site anaerobic digestion system to generate renewable energy, closing the loop on the brand's zero-waste ambitions.
