Nestle Launches Eco-Friendly Boxes

Confectionary giant Nestlé has launched three ‘easy-to-recycle’ selection boxes for Christmas chocolate gift-packs.

Bulky plastic inserts have been replaced by trays made from recyclable cardboard.

Following a packaging reduction initiative in 2007, Nestlé said it aims to save 200t of packaging a year.

The boxes, which are available in three different designs, range from large and medium-sized gift boxes to smaller Santa-themed selection boxes, according to Nestlé.

The boxes are used for packaging the company’s products such as Milkybar, KitKat, Aero Mint, Smarties, and Rowntree’s Tootyfrooties.
