Kerbside Cartons Hit 60%

摘要

Figures released by the Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment (ACE) UK show that the proportion of UK local authorities collecting beverage cartons for recycling from kerbside has hit 60 percent. This milestone represents a 15-fold increase on 2006 levels when just four percent of local authorities collected cartons at kerbside and follows sustained, close co-operation between ACE UK, local authorities and consumer groups. When ACE UK's own bring-bank system is included, 91 percent of UK local authorities now collect cartons for recycling.
