Pringles and Lucozade Packaging Criticised: Sontex Comments

Trade body Recycling Association has recently named Pringles tubes and Lucozade bottles as the “worst offenders” for recyclability.

 

Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/07/2017 -- Simon Ellin, the Recycling Association's chief executive has stated that Pringles tubes and Lucozade bottles are among the hardest things to recycle. This is said to be because Pringles tubes have a cardboard outer, a metal lining, a metal base and a plastic lid and Lucozade sports are similarly made up of different materials which can be hard to separate when it comes to recycling.

The association is now urging all companies and manufacturers to consider the packaging that they are using, not only thinking about style and design but also considering the materials that they used, aiming for them to be eco-friendly and recyclable.

A spokesperson from Sontex, one of the UK's most leading and reputable packaging companies, was incredibly eager to comment saying, "Here at Sontex we have been pushing the importance of using recyclable materials for packaging for years. Not only this but it is important for companies to ensure they if they are using multiple materials to package one products, that they are easily separable. If anyone has any questions regarding packaging or would like advice and guidance, then they can call our expert team."
