Green journey

Understandably, there’s a great focus on packaging and environmental impact, and at Simply Chocolate we’re constantly working on getting closer to our goal of 100% reusable packaging.

We are on a mission. Imagine an edible wrapping. We are not there yet but we are on the journey and until the goal is reached we are doing what we can to do better, and this year we teamed up with the organisation Plastic Change as sponsors. They work to reduce and remove plastic and find better alternatives. The goal is a world free of plastic waste.

We depend on good packaging. Even the most beautiful and perfectly tempered chocolate can go grey and loose its snap if wrapped in the wrong material. This is why our industry for years have been using packaging that are not necessarily environmentally friendly or reusable. At Simply Chocolate, we have decided to change this. That’s why we—together with our Danish packaging supplier—are working hard to find new packaging for our delicate chocolates.

Right now, we’re testing a brand new foil wrapper made from 50.2% sugar cane material, meaning it is recyclable. In fact, it will save us 8,239 kilos of CO2 each year—the same as 68,764 kilometres in an average car. But we have to make sure that the foil is up to standard regarding food safety before we roll out the big foil roll!
