Royal Mail has stepped into a row between environmental campaigners and crisp manufacturer Walkers - by urging people not to post empty crisp packets.

Campaigners encouraged people to post crisp bags to the Leicester firm to protest about them being non-recyclable.

Royal Mail is obliged by law to deliver the bags to Walkers' freepost address but they cannot go through machines and must be sorted by hand, causing delays.

Campaign group 38 Degrees, which encouraged people to post their crisp packets back to Walkers, has been asked to comment.

A Royal Mail spokesperson said: "We strongly encourage customers not to post anything into the postal system which is not properly packaged.

"Crisp packets can't go through the machines, they are not normal mail items. Therefore my hardworking colleagues need to sort them manually, which adds to time."
