Ferrero believes it is possible to achieve
significant results by 2025 and shape our
collective ambitions for the full transition to a
circular economy. In the past years, we have
consistently invested in new packaging lines,
several new pack trials across our plants, and
collaborations with suppliers to fine-tune
design or equipment to allow industrialisation.
Since 2019, for our most important projects,
we have:
• performed around 250 tests in our plants
to assess the functionality of new pack
designs and identify the final solutions
to industrialised.
.
engaged and collaborated with more than
20 raw-material suppliers or packaging
producers on new R&D streams,
strengthening supplier relations.
tested more than 15,000 km of flexible
packaging to fit designed-for-recycling
structures in existing packaging
production lines.
developed and tested more than 100 new
pack design options to find the ones that
best meet requirements for transparency,
quality and mechanical performance for
new Rocher boxes.
• reduced 3,800 tonnes of plastic with our
new pack designs.
We have also consistently applied the design-
for-recycling principles to our packaging. As an
outstanding example, the new Ferrero Rocher
24-piece gift boxes will be made of rigid
polypropylene (PP) (easier to recycle compared
to previous material) using 40% less plastic
than the previous box, with a design aligned
to the main design guidelines.
We are directly involved in supporting the
change we want, taking action both within
(e.g. designing or redesigning our packs), and
outside of packaging design, working with
value-chain partners to improve recycling,
and advocating with policy makers to create
the enabling conditions for the right EPR
schemes to fund collection, sorting and
recycling of packaging.
We are currently developing projects that
will allow us to explore opportunities beyond
recycling, such as looking at ways to reduce
pressure on the system and reduce leakage
in places where "in practice and at scale"
may be a longer-term reality.

Our roadmap to 2025 & beyond

R&D and
open innovation:
Innovation has an important role to play
along the entire value chain: from the
materials we choose, to the end of life for
packaging. Our R&D teams and leading-
edge suppliers are developing the ideas and
technology to help us address the issues, and
we will continue to invest in opportunities to
improve our packaging circularity. We are
looking to develop improved materials, to use
recycled content in plastic packaging, to
explore and test new compostable materials
as well as paper-based packaging with
barrier properties.

Educating consumers for
a successful transition to a
circular economy and to
eliminate waste:
Using the power of our brands to share
knowledge and tools, offering recycling tips,
upcycling opportunities and clear end-of-
life information on recyclability or
compostability or reusability of our
packaging.

Working with recyclers
and national waste
management systems:
Developing solutions for hard-to-recycle
materials and looking into opportunities to
use packaging waste as a resource.
