    Excerpt
    A milestone in tackling the complex and urgent issue of plastic waste in the country was achieved last August, September, and October as Nestlé Philippines attained plastic neutrality, collecting an amount of plastic equivalent to what it generated from its packaging sold in the market in those three months. The company recovered and diverted from landfills and oceans 7,016 metric tons of plastic waste in those months, and is the country’s first multinational fast-moving consumer goods or FMCG firm to achieve plastic neutrality, which it is committed to sustain moving forward. In January 2019, Nestlé globally articulated its broader vision for a waste-free future, that none of its packaging, including plastics, ends up in landfills and oceans, or as litter. The company is committed to making its packaging, including plastics, 100% recyclable or reusable by 2025.
