Nescafé, a leading coffee brand in Germany, has transitioned to recyclable paper packaging for its coffee mix products, Nescafé Cappuccino and Nescafé Latte, replacing plastic containers. This change is set to reduce plastic usage by 155 metric tons annually in Germany alone. The new packaging consists of 95% paper, allowing consumers to dispose of the cans in paper recycling bins, while the recyclable lid and sealing film should be placed in the yellow bin for plastics and metals. This initiative is part of Nestlé Germany’s broader strategy to adopt more sustainable packaging solutions. By 2025, Nestlé aims to make over 95% of its plastic packaging globally recyclable or reusable and to reduce the use of virgin plastics by a third compared to 2018 levels.
