On the road to 100% sustainable plastic
The soft drinks industry is committed to securing a
reliable and plentiful supply of quality recycled PET
(rPET) and ending its reliance on virgin plastic.31 Our
support for a UK-wide DRS is one way we are looking
to do this.
The industry are looking beyond mechanical recycled
PET as they look to the future, including plant based
PET and enhanced recycled PET, both of which behave
like virgin plastic and do not degrade during the
recycling process, meaning they are infinitely recyclable.
Industry support and investment in the establishment
of DRS across the UK and research into packaging
innovation, is putting soft drinks on the road to using
100% sustainable packaging in the future.
