Nestlé to Adopt Paperboard Packaging

17 December 2009

Nestlé’s Prepared Foods Company said it will adopt new paperboard packaging for two products of frozen food products.

The new packaging design will enable Nestle to save pallet usage by 4.7 million pounds a year, and help reduce diesel fuel consumption by 206,443 gallons a year, the company said.

The move is an extension of company’s trial version on the same brand's other products, which was initiated earlier this year.

Case and pallet configurations have allowed the food manufacturer to annually save 2,754 tons of paperboard used in cartons, CPET and PET, Nestle said.
