13 Mar 2020 --- Global consumers are confused by how to correctly recycle different types of plastic packaging and lack confidence in current recycling collection systems, according to Hi-Cone’s first report on The State of Plastic Recycling. The ring carrier supplier’s commissioned YouGov survey revealed that UK consumers were the most confused but also the most active recyclers overall, with 92 percent of those surveyed reporting to regularly recycle at home compared to the 75 percent global average. In light of the findings, the supplier is promoting several cross-industry partnerships, such as a recycling partnership with TerraCycle in the UK, and the launch of its +50 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) beverage carrier, RingCycles, which reduces the company’s use of virgin plastic by half.
