Our Journey So Far:

Maggi noodles wrapped with 50% recycled plastic using mass balance, certified by ISCC

We’re proud of this big step. Our Maggi noodles are the first noodles wrapped with recycled plastic (mass balance) in Australia in the Noodles category, excludes sachets.

We’re now sourcing 50% less virgin plastic to produce wrappers for our 2 Minute Noodles and our Fusian Noodles, excludes sachets.

By sourcing recycled plastic, we’re saving approx. 4,500,000m2 of virgin plastic a year! That is enough virgin plastic to cover 400+ football fields if we laid our Maggi bags out flat!

With more to come!

We want to increase the amount of recycled plastic, and reduce the amount of virgin plastic we are using, on as many Maggi noodle wrappers, as fast as possible. In January 2024, we started by rolling out our Maggi 2 Minute Chicken & Beef Noodles wrapped with 50% recycled plastic and are now proud to extend this to the rest of our noodle products including all Maggi 2 Minute Noodles and our Maggi Fusian Noodles.

Using recycled plastic is part of Nestlé's global ambition to reduce the amount of virgin plastic we use by one third by 2025.

*We've rolled out our Maggi 2 Minute Noodles and Fusian 5pk and 12pk bag noodles range
wrapped with 50% recycled plastic, excluding flavour sachets.

ISCC Certified

Our Maggi noodle bags with 50% recycled plastic are ISCC Certified. The recycled material is allocated using the ISCC mass balance approach

ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) operates a certification scheme known as ISCC PLUS. This scheme supports the adoption of innovative recycling technologies capable of transforming challenging-to-recycle materials into new plastic, thereby promoting the transition towards a circular economy.

What is mass balance?

A mass balance approach means that both recycled and virgin plastics are mixed during the production process with the amount of certified material tracked through verifiable bookkeeping.

Working towards a waste free future

Our vision is that none of our packaging, including plastics, ends up in landfill, in oceans, lakes and rivers. We are working hard to deliver on this and help achieve a waste-free future.
