Nestlé Close To Switching To 100% Recyclable Packaging In Italy

Food giant Nestlé has announced that 97% of its product packaging in Italy is now recyclable – just a step away from its goal of 100% recyclable or reusable packaging by 2025.

In Italy, the Swiss multinational achieved 100% recyclability for corrugated cardboard and glass, 98% recyclability for its paper packaging, 96% for rigid plastic, 92% for aluminium, and 77% for flexible plastic.

The data comes from the 2022 edition of the Nestlé Sustainable Packaging Commitment: Road to 2025 report.

Nestlé’s strategy consists of reducing the amount of packaging used and implementing new solutions to improve packaging quality and recycling systems.
