Nestlé is helping to reduce waste and boost responsible disposal in Chile by
supporting a new recycling network.
The company has backed the 'Collective Recycling Project', which aims to recycle
about 1,200 tonnes of waste per year through the installation of five recycling
centres in the capital of Santiago.
Nestlé signed a partnership with Walmart Chile, Coca-Cola Chile, PepsiCo, and
Unilever, in a joint collaboration to improve waste management in the country.
Reducing waste
The new sites, managed by Triciclos, an organisation specialised in recycling
and sustainable consumption, are providing consumers with an easy and efficient
way to recycle their household waste.
Each centre can recycle about 20 different types of materials such as glass, PET
plastic, aluminium, paper, cardboard and clothes - avoiding further waste to
landfill.
In turn, companies will be provided with useful energy recovery data on each
type of waste.
Nestlé can use this information to redesign its product packaging to reduce
waste and improve the environmental performance of its products.
The company's latest environmental sustainability pledge is part of its
commitment to eliminate waste at every level of its operations.
