The good ol’ days of paper wrapping on sweet treats are making a comeback… The Mars Wrigley company says its range of chocolate bars, including Mars Bars and Snickers, will be packed in recyclable, reusable or compostable material by 2025. After 2 years of research at its Ballarat site, the company has developed paper packaging that is set to be rolled out for some products in Oz from April next year. It’s a world-first move for the confectionary giant and is expected to eliminate more than 360 tonnes of plastic from the nation’s supply chain. And luckily for choccie lovers, Mars Wrigley says it expects “the same level of freshness” with the new paper wrapping. It follows the collapse of major soft plastics recycler RedCycle earlier this month, which has also prompted supermarket giants Coles, Woolworths and Aldi to launch a task force to find a solution to Australia’s plastics recycling problem.
