Coca-Cola and
CitizenBlue ride
CDS success
Recycling of eligible drink containers has soared by 69 per cent in NSW since the Return and Earn container deposit scheme was implemented, and Coca-Cola Australia is partnering with environmental collective CitizenBlue to take advantage of the program as part of its recycling goals.
According to Christine Black, director of pub- lic affairs and sustainability at Coca-Cola South Pacific, the part- nership with CitizenBlue is
part of the compa- ny’s global sustainable pack-
aging strategy.
“Locally, we are focusing our
efforts on designing packaging to be 100 per cent recyclable across our entire portfolio and increas- ing the recycled content we use in our packaging.
“This partnership is part of the next step for Cola-Cola in tackling drink container waste, while inspir- ing positive change to ensure our bottles and cans have another life be- yond their first use,” says Black.
Susie Crick, chair of CitizenBlue member the Surfrider Foundation Australia, says the partnership will put a spotlight on recycling. “Our aim is for these activities to enhance and promote existing recycling ef- forts through the CDS in NSW.
“More organisations and busi- nesses coming together to find solu- tions to tackle waste and recycling is better for the environment and the sector, not to mention a funding
boost for charities,” she sa VISIT US STAND 825
THE volume of CDS-eligible drink containers entering the litter stream has dropped by nearly half since November 2017, says NSW environment minister Gabrielle Upton. “Before Re- turn and Earn, many drink bot-
tles and cans became litter and only a third were being recycled through yellow lidded bins.
“Now the trend is reversed: more are recycled than are littered and the state is a cleaner place,” says Upton.
Litter volume has dropped across all categories, with eligible drink con- tainers hitting an all-time low of 37 per cent of the NSW litter stream. Around 26 million containers are processed every week.
“More than half the drink contain- ers in the marketplace (54 per cent) are now being recovered, compared with the 32 per cent that was being collected in yellow bins before Re- turn and Earn kicked in,” Upton says.
“When combined with the 710 million drink containers collected in yellow bins between December 2017 and September 2018, we now
know there has been a massive 69 per cent increase in the number of drink containers recovered com- pared with yellow bin collections over a similar period in the previous year,” says Upton.
Coca-Cola and CitizenBlue’s new campaign will see drink container bins placed in venues and events around NSW. Refunds collected from the containers through the CDS will go to environmental and com- munity charities.
