Nestlé investit 15 millions d’euros dans Nescafé en Espagne
Original
Nestlé has already begun construction of two new packaging lines that will allow the use of recyclable materials, minimising the use of virgin plastics and working with more energy-efficient machines, a Nestlé Spain spokesperson told financial news agency AWP, confirming a report in the Spanish press.
The work should be completed by the end of the year, she added.
This investment will enable Nescafé refill sachets to be produced in the country for the first time. These soluble coffee sachets, manufactured in Switzerland and transported to Spain from 2022, offer customers a more sustainable alternative to Nescafé’s usual glass and plastic containers, the group claims.
Nestlé also plans to build a new high-performance line at the site for small Nescafé sachets made from a single recyclable material. The new line will have a production capacity of 1,200 sachets per minute for the retail and hospitality sectors, and is expected to reduce the use of virgin plastic by 60 tonnes per year.
Operating since 1968, the Girona plant employs over 900 people and exports 84% of its soluble coffee and 75% of its Nescafé Dolce Gusto capsule production to 56 countries.
