09 Aug 2018 --- Britvic – the UK’s largest supplier of soft drinks – has announced investments of £850,000 (US$1,090,000) a year in UK recycling infrastructure through its commitment to only purchase domestic Packaging Recovery Notes (PRNs) from UK recyclers. Britvic signed up to a new partnership with environmental compliance experts Comply Direct in January 2018. Since then, Britvic has not purchased any export recovery notes (known as PERNs), which are generated by UK exporters and therefore encourage the export of waste abroad. Instead, Britvic has chosen to only buy PRNs from UK recyclers meaning Britvic’s £850,000 (US$1,090,000) payment obligation is now being invested solely in the UK’s recycling industry.
