The Ferrero Easter range is being updated by the brand to help make it more eco-friendly and keep it relevant for shoppers who are becoming more conscious when it comes to the products they purchase. The lineup will see plastic windows traditionally used with several of the brand's products, including Thorntons, eliminated in favor of a completely paper package. This comes as part of the brand's commitment to revamping all of its various packaging to be 100% recyclable by 2025.
Customer Development Director at Ferrero Levi Boorer commented on the updated Ferrero Easter range saying, "Easter is a great time to celebrate with your favourite chocolate confectionery. Compared to Christmas, shoppers were more likely to make a dedicated trip for chocolate at Easter 2021 (21% versus 9% at Christmas, according to Kantar), showcasing the size of the opportunity for confectionery as we fast approach the occasion.”
