Kenco Refill Bag
Kenco Eco Refill bags are much more eco friendly than their jars because they are more efficient to produce (than the traditional glass jars). 97 % (source: Kraft eco calculator) less waste goes to landfill because the plastic lids are not easily recycled. The bag uses 81% less energy to produce compared to the jars.
The material used for the traditional lid (polypropylene)is difficult to recycle due to the lack of recycling plants in the UK able to recycle it.
‘an Eco Refill pack weighs less than the jar lid alone...everyone (whether they recycle their glass jar or not) can reduce their waste’
The Eco Refill bags are recycled into bags, pencil cases and umbrellas thanks to TerraCycle, a company which Kenco have partnered with.

I think this is a very good examples, there are a few products which also use this type of packaging e.g. big bags of M&Ms or Maltesers now use reusable packaging.
