Functioning nearly with a paper manufacturer in Sweden to find the right kind of material and reconfiguring its flow-wrap machine to accept it, this week witnessed the first 100% paper flow-wrapped chocolate bar roll off the production line. Providing a 12-month minimum shelf life, Cox & Co's innovative new paper flow wrap solution is a massive move on the right path to lowering the massive amount of chocolate packaging waste that presently ends up in landfills.
