With the NXT chocolates, you make a choice for delicious, 100% plant-based chocolates. But there’s more! To preserve the great taste of our chocolate and deliver it to your kitchen in optimal conditions, we reworked our packaging to be more sustainable.       

After the 10 kg, you can now also help us recycle the 2.5 kg packs.

THE NXT PACK

THE NXT PACK: KEEPS GREAT TASTE
IN OPTIMAL CONDITIONS

From now on, all NXT dairy-free packs are made from a new monomaterial PE foil that protects the flavours and the aromas of your chocolate as good as before. It keeps air and humidity out, and all the flavours inside, until you open it to get to work.

FRESHNESS SEALED

FRESHNESS SEALED, TO THE LAST CALLETS™

The integrated ChocLock™ seal is super easy to open and close your pack after every use. It allows you to dose precisely what you need, and keep the rest of your chocolate fresh to the last Callets™.

ONE MONO-MATERIAL NXT

ONE MONO-MATERIAL TO PUSH RECYCLING FORWARD

Our NXT packaging is designed for recycling, with all packaging components including labels made from polyethylene (PE). That choice makes it fit for recycling streams in a majority of countries. As soon as your pack is empty, you can sort it with other soft plastic packaging materials to start its new life (depending on your local collection and sorting rules)

Conscious choice for a mono-PE barrier material:

  • It preserves the taste, freshness and workability of our delicious chocolate perfectly.
  • It is suitable for recycling in a wide range of countries.
  • It is recycle-ready in countries/regions where sorting and recycling infrastructure is under development.
  • It is a widely available material.
RECYCLABLE BAGS NXT

WHY DO RECYCLABLE BAGS MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Packaging is an unavoidable part of everyday life. It protects our products, preserves them, enhances them, displays important information, and allows safe transportation. We have chosen to work with a mono-material packaging in PE for many reasons:

  • It prevents food waste by optimally protecting the product over a long shelf life.
  • It can be recycled in many countries. This way, we avoid empty packs ending up in landfill or polluting nature as plastic waste.
  • Polyethylene (PE) is a valuable material resource that can be reused over and over.
  • When these PE bags are being recycled mechanically in a closed loop, it results in the following benefits compared to the multi-material packaging:

Reducing carbon footprint by -56%
Lowering energy demand by -45% 
Decreasing water consumption by -22%
