Nestle's 100% recyclable packs

Nestlé has become the first major confectioner to use 100% recyclable packaging across its entire Easter egg range.

Nestlé UK & Ireland has replaced the 48 tonnes of rigid plastic used in its mug eggs with FSC-approved paperboard, meaning its entire Easter collection is now recyclable. Compostable film is also being used for the windows resulting in a 30% reduction in packaging across the mug egg range.

With Easter eggs creating 3,000 tonnes of UK waste each year, the manufacturer of Smarties, Kit Kat, and Aero Easter eggs has claimed that it has become the first major confectioner to remove plastic packaging from all its eggs – the culmination of a six-year process that has saved 726 tonnes of plastic waste going to landfill per year.
