The tray that displays the chocolates is made
up of a biodegradable cornstarch material that
can be discarded in a home compost pile. The
box is made up of 100 per cent recyclable paper
and is collapsible. If a consumer collapses the
box and returns it to the supermarket, where it
will be sent back to the manufacturer for

product. This acts as an incentive for consumers
to return the box so it can be reused. If a
consumer decides to throw the box away, then
the box can be recycled.
