New Zealand chocolate producer Whittaker s is trialling a compostable Peanut Slab wrapper for the Wellington region in a new partnership launched today.
The chocolate will be in specially-marked, plant-based compostable packaging available at participating stores.
Each store will have a unique For The Better Good collection box, which the wrappers can be returned to. Alternatively, the packaging can be disposed of in home compost bins.
Press Release – Whittakers
As part of a broader programme of review and testing of a range of sustainable packaging options, Whittaker’s has launched a trial within the Wellington region of a compostable packaging solution. In the context of the need for end-to-end solutions for truly sustainable packaging, this trial includes an exciting partnership with For the Better Good and with local retail partners across the region.
From today, Whittaker’s Peanut Slabs in specially-marked, plant-based compostable packaging will be available to purchase from participating stores; and each of those stores has a unique For The Better Good collection box for the compostable wrappers to be returned to. Packaging returned to the collection boxes will be composted at For the Better Good’s Edible Earth Urban Micro Farm in Cannons Creek, Porirua. Alternatively, the packaging can be disposed of in home compost bins.
