04 Sep 2024 --- Capri Sun Group is trying to bring back the recyclable plastic straws used in its juice products through a petition to the European Commission (EC) Directorate-General for Environment. The move has sparked outrage among environmentalists. “With this initiative, we want to create a balance between the functionality of the drinking straw that our consumers expect and our sustainability efforts in the packaging sector for optimal recycling of the drinking bag,” a company spokesperson tells Packaging Insights.
