Australia & New Zealand continues its reign in the WorldStar Packaging Awards

Winning the prestigious WorldStar Awards is an amazing recognition for the work in the development of this packaging material. The transition from plastic bag and blocks formats to paper was a collaborative effort between Nestlé packaging experts at our Confectionery R&D Centre in the UK, the Nestlé Institute of Packaging Sciences in Switzerland, and our packaging suppliers. This award shows that there is a strong focus on sustainable packaging materials and we are proud to be leading the way in packaging sustainability. Shifting Smarties packaging to recyclable paper is an important step in realising Nestlé’s ambition to reduce our use of virgin plastics by a third by 2025. We will continue to innovate and work with industry to further our progress in developing packaging for a sustainable future. We thank the Australian Institute of Packaging and the World Packaging Organisation for this award!
