WRAP (Waste Resources Action Programme) stepped up its efforts to promote lighter glass packaging with the launch of a new online directory of lightweight wine bottles at the London International Wine Fair. The online database is available free of charge and enables producers, agents, brand owners and retailers to view what has ready been created in terms of glass bottles weighing 450g or under.
WRAP has also worked with British Glass to establish a methodology for UK manufacturers to calculate how much recycled content is in glass bottles. The methodology is in line with the post 2010 Courtauld Commitment target that focuses on packaging optimisation as opposed to just weight.
