Wrapping
Food packaging is a massive culprit in the crime of plastic pollution. But Nestle – which often gets a bad rap on sustainability – is promising to change that. Until now, snack packaging has been notoriously unsustainable – mass produced, plastic, prone to littering and not generally recyclable. But Nestle has just launched the world’s first mass-produced snack packaging using recyclable paper and high-speed, flow-wrap technology. The wrapping will debut with its range of YES! health bars but will extend to other products. Under pressure from the global movement against single-use plastics, the sustainable innovation took just 10 months.
