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. It 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 will be driven by the reduction in plastics, innovation of new materials, exploration of new and more sustainable business models, policy advocacy, knowledge exchange and behavioral change.

CoRe, together with Nestlé Pakistan, led the successful advocacy with the Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) for the approval of the Pakistan Standard on food contact material including plastic and food grade recycled plastic including rPET in 2022.

In the years since its formation, Nestlé Pakistan and other members have executed several projects that promote a circular economy and responsible behavior.
