Quality Street axes plastic wrappers for recyclable paper
Nestlé says change after 86 years will keep 2bn wrappers a year out of landfill
Quality Street’s multicoloured confectionery will now all be a bit more green – or that is the hope – as the foil and plastic wrappers are swapped for recyclable paper.
Should kick the environment back into shape. Hang on though - what if the green paper wrappers are just tossed into the landfill bin? They could biodegrade and create enormous burps of Quality Street methane from landfill sites.
So many questions.

My favourite was always the green triangle one. You couldn't get more green than that.
I think people will continue to do what they always did; purposefully throw them in the sea. The sea with the dolphins
Sam - I think my favourites were the ones in a purple cellophane type wrapper, so not very green.
Bucko - maybe dolphins would recycle the new green wrappers by eating them.
