To celebrate Freddo turning 90 years old, the chocolate frog is going 3D with its new adventure range, featuring a hollow Freddo packed with candy shapes inside, and wrapped in collectable characters.

The Freddo 3D Adventure range uses recyclable foil packaging, supplied and printed by UK-based WZ Packaging, while the themed inner designs were printed locally at Amcor.

Freddo will have four new looks, including space and underwater themes, with edible candy inside.

“Space and Underwater felt like fun and relevant themes for parents and kids today. To further surprise and delight we thought why not develop multiple packaging designs to bring these themes to life,” Mondelez Australia senior brand manager ANZ Stephanie Palayan told Food & Drink Business.

“Taking care of the environment and leaving the world in a better place for their kids is important to parents today, so the environment was top of mind when developing our new 3D Freddo Adventure. 

“Given the key theme of the product is to generate excitement about outdoor adventures, it was important to us that the packaging cares for the natural environment.”

Freddo 3D Adventure is now available Australia-wide in a treat size 25g from for an RRP of $2.50.

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
