About this deal

Ribena gets busy with the fizzy". Convenience Store. 22 September 2020. Archived from the original on 1 November 2020 . Retrieved 17 November 2020. Formed in 2014 as Lucozade Ribena Suntory and part of Suntory Beverage & Food Europe, SBF G&I’s soft drinks brands include Lucozade Energy, Lucozade Sport, Lucozade Revive, Ribena, Orangina and May Tea. ‘Above and beyond’ Alongside this, the bottle will be redesigned with a smaller label, around 50% of the size of the original, by the end of 2021. Suntory says this will ensure the bottles can be sorted into clear waste streams at material recycling facilities. From professionals to grassroots players, Lucozade Sport is a staple for athletes across the country and I urge these sports drink fans to go the extra mile and recycle their bottle.” A ‘recyclable alternative’ to the bottle’s silicon valve, the nozzle at the top of the bottle, will also be introduced next year.

Environment Minister Rebecca Pow said: “I am very pleased to see SBF GB&I taking this important step to ensure that all their Ribena bottles are fully recyclable and made from 100% recycled plastic.

Simon Ellin, chief executive of The Recycling Association, said: “We have been highly critical of manufacturers who have not taken responsibility for the full life cycle and recyclability of their products. Suntory Beverage & Food GB&I have been proactive in this space and have developed a fantastic new bottle for their Ribena brand.

Babies should be kept away from sugary drinks, including Ribena. They are bad for their teeth and if babies get used to drinking sweet drinks regularly, they are more likely to refuse plain water which is much healthier. Is Ribena good for pregnancy? a b c Tony Jaques (2008). "Pre-publication draft: When an Icon Stumbles – The Ribena Issue Mismanaged" (PDF). Corporate Communications. 13 (4): 394–406. doi: 10.1108/13563280810914829. Archived from the original (PDF) on 4 March 2016 . Retrieved 18 April 2015. . From January 2021, all 500ml bottles manufactured annually in the UK and Ireland will feature the new design.

Switching the design of the label involved extensive product testing and investment to ensure that the drink would not be affected by the extra exposure to light while on shelf. Thanks to the new design, consumers can leave the label and cap on the bottle to recycle it, knowing it can have another life as a bottle. A raft of recycling organisations including the Recycling Association endorsed Lucozade Sport’s rPET bottles and reduced sleeve design. Peter Maddox, Director at WRAP said: “As a founding member of The UK Plastics Pact, I am pleased to see Lucozade Ribena Suntory taking further proactive steps to minimise its impact on the environment. This redesign will help the reprocessing of their drinks bottles and shows that the company continues to take sustainability seriously. I look forward to seeing the results.”The soft drinks brand has committed to ensuring its Lucozade Sport bottle is made from 100% recycled plastic by the end of 2021. Suntory claims the move will save 3,400 tonnes of virgin plastic annually.
