Hello everyone
It is undisputed that the plastic packaging of chocolate has a massively better eco-balance in terms of production and destruction than aluminum foil.
So I wonder why Migros sells (its own Frey) chocolate that is still wrapped in aluminum? I am very surprised.

Hello Roland
I'll ask our product managers what the reasons for this are.
Best regards

Probably has something to do with the insulation! High-quality, creamy and chocolates with Kirsch, Williams and Cognac are wrapped in aluminum foil!

Hello everyone
The reason for the aluminum foil is actually that it protects the chocolate even better than plastic foil. This is mainly because aluminum is less translucent.
We are also interested in acting as ecologically as possible and want to continuously improve.
Kind regards

Hm, I find that a bit strange.
So where is the criterion for which chocolate to use aluminum and which plastic?
And why do you continue to use aluminum when you write that you want to act as ecologically as possible? Sorry, but that just doesn't add up.
Greetings,

What is more ecological about plastic than aluminum? At least aluminum can be melted down again. Plastic is based on oil. I don't understand that.

Hello everyone
It is no longer so clear which material has the better eco-balance for the wrapping of sheets; there are studies that define one or the other as the "winner". The fact is, however, that aluminum clearly has the better barrier and product protection properties.
Which materials are used for which products is based on technical circumstances.
Depending on the packaging method (size of the paper wrap or the cardboard case) and, above all, depending on the machine, only certain wrapping materials can be used.
Kind regards
