Italy\u2019s Ferrero Group has taken another step in its sustainability strategy, committing to have 100% of its packaging be reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activities will focus on four areas over the next three years \u2013 the development and reformulation of existing packaging; R&D in innovation; association with national waste management institutions; and consumer education to complete a successful transition towards a circular economy, along with actions to eliminate waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ferrero Rocher Packaging
As part of this commitment, new packaging with an eco-friendly design for its Ferrero Rocher line of chocolates will be launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The polypropylene box is easier to recycle and reduces the carbon footprint of the packaging by 30% compared to previous boxes, while maintaining the iconic transparency of the packaging and guaranteed product quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reformulation was first implemented in September 2021 on 16-piece and 30-piece boxes and will be phased in on the 24-piece gift box starting in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the introduction of this packaging in September 2021, approximately 2,000 fewer tonnes of plastic have been used, the company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the implementation of the new eco-friendly packaging is completed, across the entire Ferrero Rocher portfolio, it is estimated that the unnecessary use of around 10,000 tonnes of plastic will be avoided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
