The Co-operative is stepping-up its ethical Easter offering by reducing the packaging on its Fairtrade Easter Eggs.
The two best-selling thick Fairtrade eggs – one milk and one dark chocolate – were a firm favourite with ethically-minded customers last year.
This year, packaging has been reduced by 28%.
The packaging for the retailer’s 270g Fairtrade spring-design boxed chocolates has also been reduced by 17%. This move represents a total packaging saving of 5.13 tonnes.
As well as the Fairtrade eggs, The Co-op is stocking its popular Fairtrade chocolate bunny for the second year, Fairtrade Marc de Champagne Truffles, and Easter Spring Cupcakes, all with Fairtrade ingredients.
