Also in Chile, reducing the headspace in the packaging of
McKay mini-biscuits by 10 mm is set to save 19 tonnes of
material, and more than CHF 69 000;
• Reducing the height of the corrugated cardboard trays for
Winiary mayonnaise in Poland and the Baltic states saved
93 tonnes of packaging materials;
• In Malaysia and Singapore, reducing the thickness of the
PE laminate layer of Nescafé 3-in-1 sticks from 40 microns
to 28 microns has saved 153 tonnes of material;
• By harmonising carton sizes for Nescafé Café Menu
cappuccino packs, produced in the UK for local and other
European markets, we have been able to save more than
163 tonnes of cardboard annually; and
• On the KitKat production line at our factory in Perm, Russia,
new wrapping and cartoning equipment allowed for the
optimisation of display boxes and enabled double-stacked
pallets, saving 573 tonnes of cardboard per year.
Looking ahead, we will be globally implementing the
ISO 18602 Packaging Optimisation standard in packaging
development to ensure that Nestlé packaging is systematically
designed with adequate weight and volume from the start.
