Nestlé has made considerable progress in reducing its packaging, creating better packaging, and improving waste management. Since signing up to the Global Commitment on plastic waste five years ago, the company and other leading signatories have significantly outperformed the market at large in reducing virgin plastic and increasing recyclability, according to the latest report from the Ellen Macarthur Foundation.
“We are continually pursuing better packaging solutions where we can have a direct impact,” said Antonia Wanner, Nestlé’s Head of ESG Strategy and Deployment. “With our in-house packaging experts and scientists, we are developing the next generation of packaging materials as well as redesigning packaging for the circular economy. In addition, we promote better infrastructure systems for waste management, advocate for harmonized regulation, and encourage behavioral change.”
