More than 40 companies have signed the #UKPlasticPack

Companies including coca-cola, ASDA and have promised to honour a number of pledges such as eliminating single-use packaging through better design.

The signatories are responsible for more than 80% of plastic packaging on products sold through UK supermarkets.

•

Eliminate difficult or unnecessary single use plastic packaging through better design

•

Make 100% of plastic packaging reusable or recyclable or compostable

•

Make sure 70% of plastic packaging is recycled or composted

•

30% of all plastic packaging to include recycled material
