Reduced Plastic Candy Packaging

Fruittella Has Announced a Reduced Plastic Packaging Design

A new reduced plastic packaging design is being launched by confectionery brand Fruitella in a move towards a larger sustainability goal that will save large amounts of waste each year. The packaging will highlight the real fruit ingredients that go into the product in an eye-catching manner, which is hoped to drive consumer appeal. This will also see ingredient credentials including natural coloring, natural flavoring and more highlighted for shoppers to easily pinpoint.

The Fruitella reduced plastic packaging design will see a thinner material being used that will make pack sizes smaller, but won't reduce the portion sizes. This will help to enhance peace of mind amongst consumers that they are getting the same amount of value, but simply with less waste.
