Trash bins and benches have been placed in popular tourist attractions in Hunza to encourage waste management. Earlier this year, Nestlé Pakistan also installed two waste plastic compression packaging machines in Hunza and Gilgit respectively.
These compressed bonds were transported downstream for recycling. In addition, Nestlé Pakistan also donated reusable bags to the district councils of Gilgit and Hunza to distribute to the communities. “The handling of packaging waste requires teamwork, and we are committed to finding improved solutions to reduce, reuse, and recycle waste. To achieve this goal, we are committed to ensuring that our packaging is 100% reusable or recyclable by 2025, and this move is a step in this direction.
