Nampak links with Closed Loop to boost milk bottles’ recycled content

Nampak has been involved in a Marks & Spencer trial to test customer acceptance of recycled material in milk bottles in conjunction with the Waste and Resources Action Programme.

It currently supplies bottles with 10% recycled content, but hopes that the agreement with CLL will enable it to reach 30% by 2009.

Nampak commercial director James Crick said the agreement made HDPE bottles with recycled content "widely available" for the first time.

"This contract allows us to improve the green credentials of a product that is already a firm consumer favourite," he added.

CLL's £12m recycling and reprocessing plant in Dagenham is due to open in December.

Marks & Spencer has already said it will send PET waste from its London stores to the plant
