Rethink packaging

We aim to address the environmental impact of our packaging through the Lindt & Sprüngli Sustainable Packaging Initiative.

Our commitment

We aim for 95% of global packaging to be designed to be recyclable by 2030.

Our packaging ambition

Our Sustainable Packaging Initiative focuses on the design of our packaging for recyclability and selection of certified packaging materials. The majority of our sourced pulp- and paper-based materials are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).

We integrate environmental criteria into the packaging design process, along with other criteria such as food safety, quality, and cost. Changes in material composition to (re)design our packaging for recyclability, as well as to use recycled materials, are checked and approved by external laboratories and consultants, for example, for external certification of sorting and recycling compatibility.

How we aim to rethink packaging

Teddy Friends

We redesigned our "Teddy Friends" Christmas product by switching from a flow pack with a plastic insert to a carton-based folding box. This change removes plastic from packaging and enables recyclability when local infrastructure is available.

Lindor sticks

We redesigned the LINDOR sticks packaging by replacing PET tray and PP film pack with a carton-based folding box. This change removes plastic components and enables recyclability when local infrastructure is available.
