Nestlé’s vision is that none of its packaging ends up in landfills or as litter. On Global Recycling Day, the company highlights how it is improving its packaging to facilitate recycling and how it is supporting better waste management.
“We are making progress in reducing our overall packaging, making it more recyclable, and using renewable or recycled materials in our packaging,” said Antonia Wanner, Nestlé’s Head of ESG Strategy and Deployment. The design of, and material used in, our packaging are factors we can directly impact. But we also go beyond that and help build up waste management infrastructure, support harmonized regulation, and engage on the human rights of waste workers.”
At the end of 2023, 83.5% of Nestlé’s plastic packaging globally was designed for recycling. For example, in the UK and Ireland, Nestlé has transitioned its Quality Street sweets and Smarties to recyclable paper packaging.
