Coca-Cola will be introducing attached lids to its bottles to make it easier to recycle the bottles and prevent litter.
Although the non-attached lids we’re used to are 100 percent recyclable, they are often improperly discarded.
Consumers in Scotland would start to see the new lids on 1.5L bottles of Fanta, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Diet Coke. All plastic bottles across the Coca-Cola brand in Scotland would make the switch by early 2024
Coca-Cola Great Britain GM Jon Woods described the plan as a small change that they hope will have a big impact as it would ensure that when consumers recycle their bottles, no cap are left behind.
According to Adam Herriott of waste reduction organization, Wrap, Coca-Cola Great Britain's move supports the ongoing work with the UK Plastics Pact in trying to ensure that as much plastic packaging is captured and recycled as possible.
Herriot noted that in 2020, the amount of plastic packaging being recycled increased from 44 percent to 52 percent. The small changes are what add up to make a big difference.
A deposit scheme, which has been planned in the UK since 2018, has been repeatedly delayed.
The UK government vowed to bring in the provision in 2023 but a recent consultation indicated a scheme in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland will not be up and running until late 2024 at the earliest.
