Walkers Chocolates is switching its own-brand Turkish Delight and Mint Cream chocolate bars into EvoPak RCM, a 100% recyclable paper wrapper.
Unlike conventional paper packaging which often contains polyethylene, the new wrappers can go for normal kerbside recycling collection along with their other paper recyclables. Currently, it is only possible to recycle similar wrappers by returning them to store. If littered, the new wrapper does not release harmful microplastics into the environment when it breaks down.
The new wrappers have been certified as recyclable by OPRL, the only evidence-based on-pack recycling labelling scheme, and feature the green recycling logo.
