In a bid to reduce plastic usage, the Australian arm of Nestlé has introduced a novel line of instant cup noodles under its Maggi brand. Called Maggi Mug Noodles, they can be prepared in a standard mug to cut down plastic packaging by 83%. These new offerings, available in chicken and beef flavors, are part of Maggi’s sustainability initiative to lower packaging impact, with the packs also incorporating 50% recycled plastic through a mass balance approach. It is understood by the brand that while many consumers appreciate the convenience of Maggi noodles sold in plastic cups for on-the-go consumption, a larger number of people prefer to eat their Maggi noodle cups at home despite having a mug sitting unused in the cupboard.
