Recycling Guide Box

Responsibly disposing packaging has never been easier

At Nestlé, we are committed to helping consumers make informed disposal decisions through clear and consistent recycling information on our packaging. In 2020, we introduced a harmonized Recycling Guide Box across our product portfolio to better enable and encourage Malaysians to responsibly dispose of Nestlé product packaging after consumption.​

We understand the challenges consumers face when trying to interpret different recycling symbols across various packaging formats. This can often create confusion and discourage proper disposal and recycling practices.With the Nestlé Malaysia Recycling Guide Box, we aim to improve the clarity and transparency of recycling information on our packaging, making it easier for consumers to identify how different packaging components should be disposed of. Featuring a user-friendly and consistent labelling system across our brands and categories, the Recycling Guide Box clearly indicates the recyclability of each packaging component and the appropriate disposal route. This includes identifying components that are not recyclable. The label also incorporates simple illustrations of the different packaging components, making it easy for consumers of all ages to understand and follow.​

Since its introduction in 2020, we have progressively rolled out the Recycling Guide
Box across our product portfolio. Today, the label is featured on approximately 80%
of our packaging, helping consumers enjoy their favourite Nestlé products while
disposing of packaging more confidently and responsibly.​
