Recycled bottles
WRAP’s groundbreaking project to develop recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) milk bottles has won an award!
A project funded by WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme) scooped two awards at the 2007 Starpack Packaging Awards, held this week at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham.
WRAP’s groundbreaking project to develop recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) milk bottles, delivered by core project team of Nextek, Nampak and Dairy Crest, won a Gold award for the Best Use of an Innovative Material, as well as a Bronze award for the Best Innovation to Reduce Waste.
Starpack aims to help raise packaging standards in the UK by recognising and encouraging creativity. This year’s awards attracted over 300 entries across 15 different categories.
Commenting on the awards, James Tunney, Customer Marketing Manager at Dairy Crest, said: 'This project clearly demonstrates that milk bottles containing recycled material can be as good as 100% virgin bottles in terms of safety, production, filling and transportation. We also received very positive consumer responses to the recycled content packaging.'
