Nestlé Waters has diverted 500 tonnes from landfill in the last 12 months and has achieved this goal a year ahead of the organisation’s planned schedule.
Almost every item of waste, including paper, cardboard, PET bottles, glass and wooden pallets, has been reprocessed into new products, of which almost half of these then return to Nestlé Waters for reuse. The small fraction of waste that cannot be recycled is used for waste to energy.
“One year on from officially opening our state-of-the-art UK facilities in Buxton, we have reached a new milestone achieving zero waste-to-landfill at our factory and our head office sites,” said CEO Federico Sarzi Braga. “To achieve this one year ahead of schedule is particularly satisfying for all of our employees and a tribute to the innovative way that Nestlé Waters has approached our responsibilities in waste diversion while also building on our efforts of how we create value in a wider community.”
