It is estimated that some 95,000 metric tons of mismanaged plastic waste, i.e burnt or dumped, is created by Nestlé every year across these six developing nations. This is enough plastic waste to cover more than 15 football pitches a day.
The company's biggest plastic pollution footprint is in the Philippines, where approximately 35,500 metric tons is produced per year. This was followed by Brazil, which is Nestlé's third leading market based on sales.
