Nestlé began introducing Smarties sharing block packed in recyclable paper in the UK last year.

Alexander von Maillot, Global Head of Confectionery at Nestlé, said: "Shifting Smarties packaging to recyclable paper is one of our key sustainable packaging initiatives in the confectionery category. It is a further step in realizing Nestlé's ambition to make all of its packaging recyclable or reusable by 2025 and to reduce its use of virgin plastics by one third in the same period."

The new Smarties paper packaging is sourced sustainably and is made of a coated paper, paper labels or carton board. Information about how to properly dispose of Smarties paper packaging is also included on its labels to raise consumer awareness.

Louise Barrett, Head of the Nestlé Confectionery Product Technology Centre in York, said: "Developing safe and convenient paper-based solutions for Smarties has required the pioneering of new materials and testing by Nestlé packaging experts at our R&D Center for confectionery in York, UK and the Swiss-based Institute of Packaging Sciences. We adapted our existing manufacturing lines to allow for the careful handling that is required for paper, while also ensuring recyclability across all new formats."

Nestlé invested significantly to upgrade its factories globally, including in Hamburg, Germany, one of the company's largest factories for confectionery products.

The transformation of the Smarties packaging is only one of the brands' 'SMART Initiatives', which aim to support sustainability and enhance the overall product experience.
