Since 2020, 100% of our MILO® UHT range has been transitioned to paper straws to help eliminate 200 million plastic straw usage per year.Today, up to 65% of Nestle Malaysia’s total plastic packaging is designed for recycling. This is in line with our pledge to make 100% of our packaging recyclable or reusable by 2025.

Our paper straws are made from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper and responsibly-sourced from suppliers that meets strict guidelines and standards.

We are committed to ensure that our transition do not result in new deforestation nor is it sourced from irresponsible suppliers.

Using paper based is just one of several actions we are taking as part of our broad set of solutions in order to reduce plastic packaging waste in a meaningful and sustainable way.
We have also conducted consumer research on the prototypes to ensure that the paper straw is sufficiently sturdy to serve its purpose for the average duration required to consume the product.

The straws on the MILO® UHT pack are made from paper and are safe for drinking use.

We source our paper from various suppliers around the world who comply with our stringent responsible sourcing guidelines and who supply FSC certified paper.

Step 3 – Flap the bottom of the pack
