Switching to paper packaging
Since 2019, Nestlé has been tackling the problem of marine plastic waste, replacing its plastic packaging with a more environment-conscious paper packaging, beginning with its original Kit Kat flavor and their popular Otona no Amasa (Adult Sweetness) flavors. They also have instructions on folding the paper package into origami.
Focus on marine life
Now, Nestlé, which hopes to make a total switch to paper packaging by 2025, is stepping up its efforts even further, this time releasing an Ocean Salt Kit Kat with four package design variations, each one featuring a marine animal and instructions on how to make an origami version from their packages.
Moreover, Nestlé is donating 10 JPY from each package to support the activities of "Zero Waste Japan," an NPO which aims to create new models of production and distribution and develop products which support "zero waste living."
