Nestle to Adopt Paperboard Packaging

Nestle’s Prepared Foods Company said it will adopt new paperboard packaging for two frozen food product ranges.

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

The move is an extension of the company’s trial version, which was initiated earlier this year.

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