Mars



Mars bars trialling paper wrappers in effort to cut plastic waste

Mars says it's part of its Sustainable in a Generation Plan - which aims to reduce plastics use by a third in the short term.

The maker of the chocolate said the new wrapper, available in Tesco stores, was part of its exploration of a more "sustainable future".

Mars said it aimed to make all its packaging "recyclable, reusable or compostable".


Strewth - there was a time when a story such as this would not be a significant national news item. Especially with a war going on in which the UK is dabbling - a rather more important matter when it comes to our hopes for a sustainable future.

Mars is the God of War. They were being subtle in trying to elude the government censors.

If they were really serious, they would sell them loose and unwrapped in a big bin. Let the customers rummage for the one they want.

Mine's the one without fingerprints, thanks.

dearieme - I wonder if the weight has also been reduced as a nod to food bureaucrats.

Sam - no fingerprints and no teeth marks - should be okay.
