Quality Street fans may have noticed a change in the chocolates' containers, if they shop in certain branches of Tesco this Christmas.
After a switch from metal tins to plastic containers, 200,000 Quality Street paper tubs are available to purchase now from 60 larger Tesco stores across England and Wales, and is only available whilst stocks last.
The new, recyclable paper tub follows the brand's switch to recyclable paper packaging for its twist-wrapped sweets in 2022, removing almost two billion pieces of packaging material from its supply chain.
Can’t believe quality street tubs are paper now, where will I keep my stash of buttons that suddenly appear when I turn 40😭😭

Alongside the Quality Street paper tub trial at Tesco, shoppers will be able to purchase the plastic tub, tin, pouch, and carton at stores nationwide this Christmas.

Jemma Handley, senior brand manager for Quality Street, says: "We take great pride in our packaging, and a lot of care has gone into the new paper tub to ensure we deliver a luxurious feel and beautiful design that our customers have come to love."

Quality Street paper tub on trial.... what's your verdict? pic.twitter.com/M3iG3D7wtG
For its new advert, the company has teamed up with barrister Rob Rinder for a new advert, in which he conducts a tongue-in-cheek trial for and against the new packaging.
"I love a good trial so lending my expertise to this case was a pleasure," he says.
"And despite compelling arguments from both sides, there was only ever going to be one verdict. The Quality Street recyclable paper tub trial is another bold step in the right direction."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
