Nestle Philippines takes a big step in achieving its goal of a waste-free future when it retrieved last month from landfills and oceans the same amount of plastic it has used in its products' packaging
Global food and beverage brand Nestle Philippines took a big step in achieving its goal of a waste-free future by reaching its plastic neutrality target in the country for the month of August.
He said the food and beverage manufacturer has collected around 2,400 metric tons of plastic waste from landfills and oceans last month. He said Nestle is committed to do it every month. He said he is hopeful other large corporations will adopt Nestle Philippines' proposed Extended Producer Responsibility Scheme, where large manufacturers using plastic in their product packaging will partner with government and non-governmental organizations to implement waste management programs in communities.
To respond to the changing times, Marzouki said Nestle is developing environmentally-friendly packaging. This initiative started when the corporation switched from plastic straws to paper straws in the country.
