Artisanal chocolate maker Gnaw continues its sustainability push in 2025 with new eco-friendly pouches for its Chocolate Buttons.
The EvoPak RCM is a 100% recyclable paper wrapper, free of polyethylene, ensuring easy disposal in standard paper recycling.
“EvoPak offers a significant step-change in planet-responsible snacking and confectionery wrappers as a result of significant advances in lightweight, multi-layer structures that preserve shelf-life whilst producing none of the harmful microplastics historically associated with snacking wrappers that unwittingly release harmful microplastics as they break down,” says Gnaw MD Mike Navarro.
Gnaw’s commitment includes investing in solar energy (70% of manufacturing needs), avoiding unsustainable palm oil, and using compostable/recyclable wrappers and vegetable inks.
Navarro adds, “Our sublime buttons remain a leading light within our ever-expanding premium chocolate portfolio, providing the perfect vehicle for our next sustainable initiative, championing awareness for cutting-edge wrapper technology that helps to address the catastrophic clogging up of seas and rivers with unwelcome micro-plastics.”
The wrapper has been certified as recyclable in standard paper recycling mills, meaning they feature the green recycle logo and can be disposed of in consumer kerbside collections along with other paper material.
Gnaw is pushing the boundary of sustainability in the chocolate industry by reducing plastic pollution and increasing transparency.
