Mars Bars Make the Switch to Recyclable Paper Wrappers in UK Pilot Trial

Mars bars will switch to recyclable paper wrappers instead of plastic, as part of a pilot trial in the UK.

Chocolate rivals Nestle have already adopted paper packaging for some of their products.

The new packaging will be rolled out at Tesco stores in the UK from Monday.

The move follows a government ban on single-use plastics in the UK.

Mars' current plastic wrappers are not recyclable, which contributes to plastic waste in landfills and oceans.

The switch to paper wrappers aligns with Mars' goal of making 200 million bars per year carbon neutral in the UK, Ireland, and Canada.
