We have made massive investments at the group level to simplify multi-layer plastic packaging and transition to other types of environmentally friendly packaging (such as paper), but the problem of a lack of recycling capacity and adequate separate collection infrastructure remains an issue that needs to be addressed. Until then, Nestlé Romania has been actively involved in promoting selective collection through consumer information and education campaigns, collaborations with authorities, retailers, NGOs, and industry partners.”
