The shift away from single-use plastic is continuing to gain momentum, which is evident through new initiatives by brands like Raw Halo that is seeing them opt for alternative packaging varieties.
The vegan chocolate brand has unveiled a new branding identity along with packaging that is recyclable and plastic-free to further reinforce the ethical ethos of the product. The chocolate itself is sweetened with coconut sugar and made with other ethically-sourced plant-based ingredients, and comes in seven dark varieties as well as three mylk options.
Founder Meg Haggar spoke about the brand saying that, "At Raw Halo, we believe in everyday luxuries that benefit mind, body and spirit. That’s why our chocolate is designed to be better in every sense, for you and the planet. We’ve created a luxury chocolate bar that’s healthier, more natural and better quality, making better-made and better-for-you the new benchmark for premium chocolate.”
