Nestlé to Use How2Recycle Label on Packaging

Nestlé is the newest member of the How2Recycle Label Program, which provides on-package recycling information to keep recoverable materials out of landfills.

Selected Nestlé USA and Purina brands will use the How2Recycle label to help communicate to the public how to recycle their packaging.

The How2Recycle label is a project of GreenBlue’s Sustainable Packaging Coalition. Nestlé joins more than 40 How2Recycle member companies including McDonald’s, Kellogg’s and Procter & Gamble using the label on packaging. The company says it plans to phase-in the How2Recycle label onto many of its products in the upcoming months.

Earlier this month Nestlé committed to achieve zero waste to landfill status in all US factories by 2020 and pledged to expand its use of recycled content to by the end of 2016.
