Milliken and Ferrero Rocher Collaboration for Sustainability
Ferrero and Milliken are both passionate about increasing the circularity of the packaging industry. Ferrero turned to its long-time partner for assistance in finding a sustainable packaging material for its Ferrero Rocher boxes due to their long-standing connection.
Milliken created more than 20 bespoke formulas in this example to locate the ideal box composed of polypropylene (PP), a transparent, lightweight, and highly recyclable material.
Today’s sustainability road is difficult, and no organization can thrive on its own. It’s critical to collaborate with others in order to achieve a common goal. That’s why Ferrero picked Milliken & Company as a partner in its quest to develop the perfect material for the iconic Ferrero Rocher boxes.
