Proud Welshman, and advocate for the planet. I love exploring new places and just being outdoors! Professional in sustainable packaging. All views are my own.
@Fogarty13Paul It's because the machines (and scanners for places without machines) which accept the empties need to read the barcode to issue a receipt.
If a container is crushed it's very unlikely to be able to read the barde, whence the requirement.
Re: litter, depends on the uptake!
It's not just Scotland where Deposit Return Schemes are being introduced soon!
Fantastic to see that the Irish government and responsible industries have adopted a variable rate of deposit for containers.✅
15c for small containers, 25c for large.👇

Great discussion this afternoon about the importance of clear and consistent consumer communication and on pack labelling, in order to gain public confidence and participation in recycling collections 👍♻️

This latest development is unacceptable for the UK can industry. Excluding glass means:-
1) Cans made of infinitely recyclable alu face commercial disadvantage.
2) Consumers aren't getting consistent messages about recycling, hampering rest of scheme.

The #EveryCanCounts Rainbow has arrived in York City Centre to celebrate #GlobalRecyclingDay! 🌈
The installation acts as a reminder that the recycling process for drink cans has the potential to go on forever, but only if you continue to recycle ALL of your empty cans! ♻️
@HarrietLamb_@WRAP_UK Good luck in the new job! I would welcome a chat to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing aluminium packaging during your first few weeks!
The magic of can recycling is... quite simple! 💫
If you pop your empty drink cans into the recycling bin, they'll be back on the shop shelf as a brand new can in just 60 days. ♻️
This process repeats over and over again, like an infinite loop that lasts forever! ♾
We are #EveryCanCounts! Here are a few facts about us:
💚Our aim is to inspire, encourage and empower people to recycle their empty drink cans.
♻️We're working towards a 100% recycling rate for drink cans.
♾ We are a small team who make a LOT of noise about recycling!
This is aluminium recycling in action! Lee from @CastInnovLtd shows us how he transforms recycled drink cans into creative masterpieces. 🎨
So, can you guess many drink cans we used to make our teddy bear keyring? 🧐
Shameless Plug 🔌 ALERT!
It's great to be nominated for the #ResourceHot100, a year after taking over at Alupro and working for positive change.
Please consider casting a vote for me or (and!) any of the other fantastic nominees!
