Its vision is that none of its packaging, including plastics, ends up in landfill. The company focuses on three core areas: eliminate non-recyclable plastics; encourage the use of plastics that allow better recycling rates; and eliminate or change complex combinations of packaging materials. Recognizing the need for developing a circular economy, Nestlé is committed to: • Playing an active role in the development of well- functioning collection, sorting and recycling schemes across the countries where we operate; • Working with value chain partners and industry associations to explore different packaging solutions to reduce plastic usage, facilitate recycling and devel- op new approaches to eliminate plastic waste; • Labeling plastic product packaging with recycling information to help consumers dispose of it in the right way; • Promoting a market for recycled plastics by con- tinuing to increase the proportion of recycled plas- tics in our packaging; • Preventing packaging material ending up as waste, including in seas, oceans and waterways is one of the key reasons behind Nestlé’s pledge.
