Vuse will help keep approximately 165,000 pounds of single-use plastic out of landfills by removing the outer wrap on Vuse Alto pod and power unit packaging. Even though we’re removing the outer wrap, product quality will stay the same. Vuse Alto pre-filled pods will continue to be packaged in tamper-evident blister packs and the pod boxes will be glued shut. We will also incorporate an outer seal on our Vuse Alto power unit packaging. Reducing our contribution to landfills is just the beginning of our journey to become a more sustainable brand.
