Recycled potato peelings could be used to make environmentally-friendly crisp packets, according to snack manufacturer Walkers.
Walkers said it had already developed cellulose crisp bags made from wood pulp - but this resulted in "crackly"bags that might put off customers.
The Leicester-based company hopes that bags made of starch waste from potatoes would prove more appealing.
Walkers, the UK's biggest crisp maker, is aiming to make packets out of peelings within 18 months.
The firm makes 10 million bags of crisps each day.
