20 Mar 2019 --- Hi-Cone, a manufacturer of ring carriers for the beverage industry, has become the first non-branded company to partner with TerraCycle. According to the British Plastics Federation (BPF), 99 percent of local authorities in the UK collect plastic bottles at the kerbside and 76 percent collect pots, tubs and trays, yet few local authorities collect and recycle other items such as ring carriers. By partnering with TerraCycle, the manufacturer hopes that ring carriers can be recycled, instead of sent to landfill or incinerated. The partnership follows a number of TerraCycle collaborations between notable brands including Kellogg’s and Colgate.
