Nestle is removing the shiny plastic and foil wrappers from its Quality Street chocolates after 86 years, in a bid to reduce waste going to landfill. The change is expected to be made in time for Christmas, reports Sky News.
The new wrappings will instead be made of a vegetable-based wax, and will hit the streets in the next few weeks.
Nestle head of sustainability, Cheryl Allen, said: "We know that opening the lid and seeing 'the jewels', as we call them, is really important. We think we've done a really good job with the redesign and feel confident that people will respond positively."
