15 Aug 2017 --- In 2007, a bring bank collection system was launched for beverage cartons as the first stage of a strategy to increase recycling in the UK. When the initiative began, just 10 percent of UK local authorities collected beverage cartons for recycling. By mid-2007, a further 65 percent were using the bring-bank system, with the remaining 25 percent sending cartons to landfill or energy from waste.
