Hong Kong NESTLÉ^® KITKAT^® Stick optimizes to recyclable paper packaging and keeps its crispy fun

This month, NESTLÉ Hong Kong has taken another step for its green footprint by optimizing the packaging for NESTLÉ^® KITKAT^® Stick. The recyclable paper packaging is used in order to reduce the plastic consumption. The new environmental-friendly packaging was developed by NESTLÉ team. After researches and tests, the packaging is made of 100% pure pulp which is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to achieve the effect of reducing plastic consumption and being recyclable². NESTLÉ^® KITKAT^® Stick had won many praises since its successful launch last year. It is transformed from the classic crispy fun of Nestle^® KITKAT^® chocolate wafers. The crispy chocolate surface of NESTLÉ^® KITKAT^® Stick is also covered with large pieces of Nestle^® KITKAT^® chocolate wafer to bring out its rich, sweet and crispy taste and texture. Everyone can participate in recycling together and contribute to sustainable development while enjoying NESTLÉ^® KITKAT^® Stick. “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Let us work together to reduce the impact of product packaging on environment and improve the quality of life!
