Danone pledges to recycle more plastic in Ecosurety link
Dairy giant Danone has vowed to recycle more plastic in the UK after announcing a partnership with recycling compliance experts Ecosurety.
It said the three-year deal would boost its environmental transparency and increase the recycling capacity for plastic in the domestic market. The deal will see Ecosurety manage Danone’s packaging and waste recycling obligations in the UK, including its contributions to the packaging waste recovery note (PRN) system.
Danone said it already recycled more than 80% of its used packaging and wanted to work further to improve that through the new partnership.
Recent figures from Defra show 66% of the UK’s recycling is currently shipped abroad, where it is harder to monitor environmental standards. But it said that taking a more strategic approach to investing via the PRN model would help to address this problem, reducing the amount of untraceable waste material shipped overseas for reprocessing.
