KitKat and Lion, both brands owned by Nestlé France, have partnered with Le Fourgon, a French company specializing in reusable packaging, to launch a pilot project aimed at reducing packaging waste. As part of this initiative, KitKat Ball and Lion Pops products will be sold in stainless steel containers, which are designed to be reused multiple times. After consumption, the containers are collected directly from consumers, cleaned, and refilled, making them a sustainable alternative to single-use packaging. The trial will take place in the Hauts-de-France region for six months, with consumers paying a €2 deposit for each container, which is refunded upon return of the empty packaging. This project is part of Nestlé’s wider commitment to make all its packaging recyclable or reusable by 2025. The initiative also aligns with broader sustainability efforts in the industry, as companies increasingly look for ways to minimize their environmental footprint through circular economy models such as reuse.
