Nestlé achievements

Since the early 1990s, Nestlé has reduced packaging by more than 19,500 tonnes in the UK & Ireland, equal to the weight of 2,500 average African elephants. We constantly look at ways of further reducing the amount of packaging used.
Packaging is regularly assessed to find ways of reducing weight and volume as much as possible as well as improving the recyclability and compatibility of packaging with existing waste management schemes.
As a founding member of the UK industry packaging waste compliance scheme, VALPAK, Nestlé has met its obligation to recover and recycle more than 30,000 tonnes in 2007.
Nestlé UK reduced the height of large Quality Street^® tins to save more than 200 tonnes of steel per year, equal to the weight of 25 average African elephants. The weight of small round Quality Street^® tins was also reduced, saving 37 tonnes of steel per year.
