Plastic bottle waste in the UK

“In the UK, 5.5 billion plastic bottles escape household recycling collection every year. Of these bottles, 55% (approximately 3 billion) are incinerated and 45% (approximately 2.5 billion) are landfilled every year” – Moopops

The number of times in which a glass milk bottle can be reused is between 25-50 times compared to the plastic bottle’s once, most of which will end up in landfill. Therefore, that makes reusable milk bottles a more energy-efficient choice than disposable plastic. When a milk bottle becomes too scuffed or damaged to reuse, it goes to the recycling. The glass milk bottles have around 35% recycled glass in it and so consumers are finding this an eco-friendly and convenient way to make 1 simple change to reduce their plastic consumption.
