Trying to recycle a Pringles tube has always been the stuff of nightmares, as it’s a smorgasbord of mixed materials—there’s a metal base, a foil-plastered cardboard tube, and, of course, the plastic cap.

Well, those days of trying to repurpose it into an adorably efficient cookie jar might be long gone, as Pringles is now trialing a recyclable paper tube as part of a partnership with the UK retailer Tesco. The packaging, made from recycled paper, will also feature two different toppers during the trial, one made of paper, and another with plastic.
