What are the packaging options for Easter candy?

Each year, more than 80 million Easter eggs are consumed… And that’s just in the United Kingdom. Over on the other side of the Atlantic, Easter is the third biggest holiday for candy sales after Halloween and Christmas. While easter sweets come in all shapes and sizes - from tiny pastel candy-coated eggs to classic chocolate bunnies - over the past couple of years there’s been a definite trend for luxurious, indulgent treats and the packaging that goes with them. 

However, there has been increasing concern in recent years over the environmental impact of packaging products. What’s more, the nature of Easter candy can make its packaging particularly hard to recycle: not only are miniature egg wrappings usually made of composite materials, they can get caught up in conventional recycling machinery. Similarly, the metallized plastic laminates used to create stand-up pouches for small Easter eggs and truffles tend to be difficult and energy-intensive to recycle.
