Particularly frequently found brands included Lucozade, Coca-Cola, Red Bull, Monster and Walkers. The State of Our Trails report, conducted by Trash Free Trails, is the first UK study that aims to establish a scientific understanding of the environmental consequences of the tonnes of litter in our landscapes. It drew together more than 1,600 submissions by 4,500 volunteers and with the data the authors have estimated as many as 9.1m individual pieces of litter could be found across the UK\u2019s 220,000km of public rights of way. The surveys took place between July 2020 and August 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Lucozade was the most frequently found brand of litter, according to the report. The authors said they thought this might be \u201cbecause of its identity as a \u2018sports energy drink\u2019. Many recreational trail users will view their activity as a \u2018sport\u2019, requiring challenge and exertion, and therefore additional energy. This may be particularly prevalent among those who are relatively new and\/or novice trail users, and\/or beginners in the activities that they are participating in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A total of 26,106 of the 216,466 items of single-use plastics found in the report were drinks containers that would be eligible for inclusion in a deposit returns scheme, in which people are given a small sum for placing recyclable drinks containers in a special bin. Campaigners say there is no excuse for the government not to put in place a deposit returns scheme across the UK. There is one planned for England and Scotland by 2025, but there have been years of delays for both. The English scheme was first announced by Michael Gove in 2018. The scheme currently will not include glass containers.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2023\/nov\/08\/litter-blighting-uk-footpaths-lucozade-bottles-most-often-found-study\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-429\/\">Litter blighting UK footpaths with Lucozade bottles most often found, says study<\/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":[11070,575,4528,579],"class_list":["post-118632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-bottles","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-litter","tag-uk"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118632","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=118632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118632\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
