In 2018, Nestle a multinational food company, announced that it would use either recyclable or reusable plastic packaging by 2025.  By the end of 2021, the company had achieved 80 percent of this objective.  Nestle has adopted a comprehensive approach to replacing plastic by using less packaging, redesign and using recyclable material.

Nestle has adopted paper-based packaging, transiting from plastic to recyclable for its Smarties™ brand.  The company has phased out plastic straws, using a recyclable paper alternative.  Wrappers for the Quality Street™ brand are now made from compostable paper, compatible with nine different shapes that were previously using cellophane and foil.

 Nestle has collaborated with supermarket chain Carrefour in France to change the packaging of coffee, confectionary and pet food.  Recyclable packaging is now available allowing customers to fill reusable containers, in a constant cycle, obviating wastage.
