Kinder Egg & Chocolate Packaging

Yes Kinder Egg & Chocolate packaging can be recycled.

RECYCLED
Where?

  • This scheme is run by Terracyle. The nearest public drop off point is Shoreham-by-Sea. Unless you are visiting there anyway this would not be a sustainable option. You can sign up as a private collector with Terracyle.
  • Alternatively you can break down the different components as follows:

    • Flexible plastic packaging and chocolate wrappers can be included in the flexible plastic schemes operated in supermarkets.
    • Aluminium foil can be included in the Green Centre scheme.
    • We are currently researching whether the rigid plastic packaging can be included in the council's hard plastic recycling scheme. 

How?

DID YOU KNOW?

  • The idea for Kinder was born in 1968 in Alba, Italy thanks to Michelle Ferrero and William Salice. Production began in 1974. 
  • Three-and-half billion Kinder eggs are sold globally each year.
  • Kinder Eggs were banned in the USA. The hollow chocolate egg with the toy surprise inside has not been allowed due to a 1930s law banning candy with non-food objects inside.
