The move will be seen in all Tesco stores across 4 pints, 2 pints and 1-pint bottles of milk. Different variants of milk \u2013 whole, semi-skimmed and skimmed \u2013 will still be identifiable because of the coloured block labels around the main bottle.<\/p>\n<p>Tesco says customers will soon see the change across its own brand milk bottles and will work with suppliers to make the products easier to recycle. The supermarket is encouraging customers to squash empty bottles before putting the original lid back onto the bottle before recycling to ensure it is not lost or discarded.<\/p>\n<p>Coloured plastic currently needs to be processed separately from clear packaging. Tesco says changing to clear plastic milk bottle lids means 3,900 extra tonnes of recycled plastic can go back into making new bottles each year and the recycling process can be repeated every time a customer recycles a bottle. Tesco has also begun recycling used plastic food trays back into packaging in what it calls an \u201cindustry first\u201d this year (2023). The supermarket says the process creates a fully circular packaging solution for its range of core chilled ready meals. The supermarket has also said it \u201cstrongly encourages\u201d the UK government to accelerate the timetable for delivering consistent kerbside collections and recycling infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.circularonline.co.uk\/news\/tesco-switches-to-clear-caps-on-425-million-milk-bottles\/\">Circular Online<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-384\/\">Tesco switches to clear caps on 425 million milk bottles<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,11185,764,2592],"class_list":["post-116295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-milk-waste","tag-recycling","tag-tesco"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116295\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
