Food and beverage giant Nestlé has committed £1.59bn to source food-grade recycled plastics to be used in its packaging, alongside a pledge to cut the amount of virgin plastics it sources by a third.

The £1.59bn includes a £200m sustainable packaging venture to fund start-up companies with innovative packaging solutions and a £1.19bn allocation to pay a premium for food-grade recycled plastics between now and 2025.
