Updated 10 Jun, 2021 05:30pm Joining the movement on World Environment Day, Nestlé Pakistan has announced a breakthrough in the company’s sustainable packaging transformation journey, with the launch of paper straws across its entire 180-250ml ready-to-drink packs; this makes Nestlé Pakistan the first food and beverage company to do so. With the new initiative, Nestlé Pakistan is eliminating over 400 million plastic straws from its system. Last year, the company globally pledged to make all its packaging 100% recyclable and reusable by 2025. Nestlé brands NESVITA, MILO®, FRUITAVITALS, NESFRUTA and NESCAFÉ’s RTD products are now in the market with paper straws. Paper straws across Nestlé ready-to-drink (RTD) products have been sourced responsibly and meet stringent quality requirements. All paper straws used are made from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper, and are only sourced from suppliers that have passed audits to ensure that they obtain responsibly sourced paper.
