Today’s announcement from the four Governments of the United Kingdom that a deposit return scheme will be introduced in 2027 is a positive step towards a circular economy for packaging. There are many international examples of well-designed, industry-led DRS increasing recycling rates and reducing litter – and we will continue to work closely with all stakeholders to ensure the UK scheme meets those high standards.   Paul Graham, our Managing Director in Great Britain, said:   “Britvic has long advocated for an aligned, well-designed deposit return scheme in the UK because we believe it can deliver a truly circular economy, and ensure that great packaging never becomes waste. This announcement takes us closer to achieving this goal. We encourage everyone to play their part in building on this progress towards a fully interoperable scheme, so that collectively we can finally maximise the environmental benefits of DRS in the UK.” https://lnkd.in/eJFWx-ER

Getting the right price for materials is the whole game in recycling. In battery recycling, if you are involved in pre-treatment and producing black mass - optimising the value of your black mass is 🔑 . When we launched Gaea, our north star was to deliver full visibility over facility operations and increase ROI for recyclers. If you are a recycler, one of the ways we do this is by giving you a more accurate view of the proportion of each battery that goes into the black mass you produce. Check out this video I made talking you through how you can trace exactly which batteries go into your black mass. Stay tuned for a post from my co-founder Fred Fooks soon where he will talk about how we take this traceability data and give you insight into the potential value of the black mass.
