Nestlé and Veolia, a resource management company, announced their collaboration to work on waste collection, sorting and recycling of plastic material, with an emphasis on flexible plastic packaging. Projects will focus on 11 priority countries across Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe.
The partnership also will explore technologies to establish viable models of recycling in different countries. This includes chemical recycling technologies like pyrolysis, which is capable to produce virgin quality plastic. These technologies will help Nestlé increase the recycled content of its bottled water packaging to 35 percent and its overall product packaging to 15 percent by 2025.
