Nestlé developing technological solutions for ecological packaging – Institute of Packaging Sciences founded
The new Institute enables Nestlé to accelerate its efforts to bring functional, safe and environmentally friendly packaging solutions to the market and to address the global challenge of plastic packaging waste.
Speaking at the inauguration, Mark Schneider, Nestlé CEO, said that the company's vision was a world in which none of their packaging ends up in landfill or as litter. The Nestlé Institute of Packaging Sciences focuses on a number of science and technology areas, such as refillable or reusable packaging, simplified packaging materials, recycled packaging materials, high-performance barrier papers as well as bio-based, compostable and biodegradable materials.
Nestlé was one of the first companies to sign the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment, setting concrete targets to eliminate plastic waste and pollution at the source, said a representative of New Plastics Economy.
Nestlé is already making progress towards its 2025 packaging commitments, and has launched novel packaging solutions. The company says that it embraces the most ambitious aim of the Paris Agreement, to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C. Ahead of the U.N. Secretary-General’s Climate Action Summit this month, Nestlé will sign the ‘Business Ambition for 1.5°C’ pledge.
In Nestlé’s top 100 distribution centers, greenhouse gas emissions have decreased by close to 40% over the past four years, the company says.
