By 2030, SBF GB&I (formerly known as Lucozade Ribena Suntory) aims to only use plastic that has been previously used or bio-sourced (plant-based) to reach its 100% sustainable plastic packaging target.

I am so pleased to reveal such an ambitious goal of 100% sustainable plastic. SBF GB&I has had a fantastic year in terms of the sustainability partnerships and initiatives it has been able to announce in 2019, so this feels like a logical, if ambitious, next step.

As one of the UK’s leading soft drinks manufacturers, we have the responsibility and opportunity to ensure future generations inherit and enjoy a healthy planet. For us, this means creating great tasting drinks that people can feel good about, so we’re working every day to deliver commitments across our entire value chain to make this a reality

or packaging to be fully sustainable, SBF GB&I is also making all its packaging 100% recyclable to enable bottle-to-bottle recycling. This includes an increase in positive consumer communications and marketing campaigns to encourage recycling and clear on-pack recycling prompts.
