Driving reuse will cut waste and ease packaging tax costs, UK study claims

Moving 30% of grocery goods sold in the UK to reusable packaging could cut emissions and EPR costs by more than 90%, new research has claimed. The report by consultancy GoUnpackaged and involving a panel featuring Tesco, Ocado and WRAP said the industry and government should 'commit to a target' for reusable packaging in the UK. The study outlines a roadmap for building reusable packaging systems across the UK grocery retail sector to hit the 30% target by 2035. According to the research, the target could be achieved by switching 18 'priority' categories of products to 'around 30 standardised packaging types'. The study ranked the product areas in order of the highest cost savings: home-cooking products – including sauces, pasta and rice – was top, with the list also featuring alcohol, coffee, detergents, fruit and ready meals. The report estimates hitting the 30% re-use target could cut packaging-related emissions by 95% and lead to an annual saving of £136m on the products under the scope of the UK's extended producer responsibility, or EPR, rules. The saving amounts to a 94% reduction in EPR feeds per item switched to reuse, the study showed. Campaigners argue that reuse systems could generate cost savings for retailers over time, compared with continually sourcing new single-use materials. At present, only 1-2% of consumer packaging in the UK is reusable. The report suggests increasing this proportion to 10% by 2030 and then 30% by 2035. To reach these targets, the researchers propose a combination of adapting regulation, infrastructure investment and incentives. These include standardising reusable packaging formats, introducing mandatory reporting requirements, and providing start-up funding for reuse pilots. The organisations backing the report, which include packaging giant Amcor, logistics business CHEP and WWF, stress voluntary initiatives alone will not deliver the change needed. 'The modelling results show, for the first time, an evidenced view of reuse working at scale in the UK for grocery retail, enabling industry and government to make insightful decisions about how to move forwards to co-create the necessary transition to reuse in the UK,' a statement from the report's advisory panel read. However, the researchers admitted their modelling suggests the re-use push would need investment of £149m a year up to 2035. It suggested three ways to fund the investment: add to EPR fees; a mix of higher EPR fees and a tax on single-use items; a combination of increased EPR charges and government funding. 'Industry needs long-term policy certainty from the government to create a level playing field, allow long-term planning and investment, and create the right incentives to support the transition to reuse,' the report read. Last month, PepsiCo announced changes to its targets on packaging. The US food and drinks giant had been looking to 'deliver 20% of all beverage servings through reusable models by 2030', a target that no longer exists. The company said it will focus on a wider goal for reusable, recyclable, or compostable (RRC) packaging by design. By 2030, PepsiCo is aiming for at least 97% of its packaging to be 'RRC packaging by design … in our primary and secondary packaging in our key packaging markets'. PepsiCo is aiming to cut its use of virgin plastic by 2% year-on-year on average through to 2030. The company's previous target was for a 20% decrease 'derived from non-renewable sources' by the same year. The group's goal for its use of recycled content stands at a reduction of at least 40% 'by 2035 or sooner'. It had been targeting using 50% of recycled content by 2030. In December, The Coca-Cola Company set out revised packaging targets. The group now has two goals on packaging, set for 2035. One is an aim to use 35% to 40% (down from 50%) recycled material in 'primary packaging', which it says is plastic, glass and aluminium. Coca-Cola said it wants to increase its use of recycled plastic from 30% to 35%. The other is to 'ensure the collection of 70% to 75% of the equivalent number of bottles and cans introduced into the market annually'. The new targets do not include an explicit goal for refillable or reusable packaging but Coca-Cola said it will 'continue to invest in refillable packaging where infrastructure already exists'. A spokesperson said: 'We intend to continue to expand the use of refillable packaging in markets where the infrastructure is in place to support this important part of our portfolio and we tailor our refillable packaging approach by market, based on local conditions.'

Sunny spring has led to crop of ‘bigger, sweeter, juicier' British cherries

The sunny spring weather has created a crop of "bigger, sweeter and juicier" British cherries, growers have said. The good weather has also produced the largest predicted yield for three years, which Tesco says will enable it to sell solely UK-grown cherries from early July. The supermarket's cherry buyer, Olivia Amey, said: "The extra sunshine and daylight hours have played a major part in the quality of the fruit we've been sampling from around the country over the last few weeks and we know customers are going to be impressed. It's also meant that overall volume is up early in the season, meaning that we'll be able to meet the usual summer demand for cherries solely with British produce. "We're also working with UK growers to extend the season by looking at new varieties of both early and late ripening cherries that can deliver a classic British-grown taste – fleshy, firm, plump, and fit to burst with a great juicy surge of sweetness." British growers are set to produce an estimated 8,000 tonnes of cherries – four times the harvest of 2018 and 14 times the yield of 559 tonnes in 2015.

He explained the country's cherry industry has been transformed by the use of dwarf root stock, grafted on to new tree varieties. He said these produce smaller trees which can be grown in plastic tunnels, creating a micro climate with temperatures similar to the Mediterranean and protecting them from the variable British weather. The smaller trees can also be picked by workers on foot rather than ladders, therefore reducing costs. Mr Hulme said: "The British cherry industry is moving at pace again now and new varieties are being brought in that are not only better suited to the British climate to improve quality and taste, but also to help us extend the growing season. Over the last few years we have brought in some exciting early season varieties such as sweet aryana and grace star, as well as exploring later season cherries such as kir rosso which will extend the current season by an extra 10 days. "But there are several other innovations being used to extend the UK season, such as controlling air conditions in storing rooms post-harvest to improve shelf-life, and also using different types of poly tunnels to accelerate and delay ripening cherries through limiting sunlight. Cherries are very susceptible to the weather and if it is too rainy or too humid the fruit suffers, but the good news is that this year we have had pretty decent growing conditions and we are looking forward to a nice long season with the best quality fruit for several years."
