CoRe Alliance
In line with our commitments on Sustainable Packaging, Nestlé Pakistan played an instrumental role in establishing an alliance called CoRe (Collect & Recycle).
We joined hands with other like-minded organizations that share our vision of a waste-free future. CoRe comprises Pakistan’s leading industry players, packaging companies, recyclers, and non-governmental organizations.
CoRe is an alliance created with the mission to eliminate packaging waste by enabling formal collection and recycling. It envisions the creation of a circular economy by reducing the packaging footprint and encouraging sustainable and innovative practices. This vision is driven by reduction in plastics, innovation of new materials, exploration of new and more sustainable business models, policy advocacy, knowledge exchange and behavioral change.
In the years since its formation, Nestlé Pakistan and other members have executed several projects that promote a circular economy and responsible behavior.
CoRe has been working with the governments of several administrative units across Pakistan to advocate for robust and standardized plastics management policies for their respective regions, by sharing technical expertise from the industry.
