UK Packaging Pact launches

The new cross-sector voluntary agreement will bring together more collaboration across the sector to optimise packaging and to scale re-use across every packaging material placed on the market from glass, paper, card, metal, as well as plastics and biobased materials.

John Scanlon, Executive Vice President UK for SUEZ said: “We all collectively – not just us in the resources industry, but us as consumers – face major changes with the way the things we buy are presented and the way we recycle and re-use them afterwards. As we prepare for the implementation of the deposit return scheme and continue trials with harder to recycle materials, I look forward to more collaboration across the sector to optimise packaging and to scale re-use, building on our extensive work with many leading brands as part of the forerunner programme.”
