Cartons
The long-life cartons we use for UP&GO have the lowest carbon footprint of the most common packaging types, according to a recent Life Cycle Analysis conducted by thinkstep-ANZ on behalf of Tetra Pak. Here’s why:
Straws
We’re actively seeking sustainable solutions to UP&GO’s straw, which has already been light-weighted by 15%.
PET Bottles
Our UP&GO plastic bottles are made of PET plastic, a strong and lightweight plastic widely used for food and beverages. You can recycle them through most kerbside recycling systems. You can also recycle the ‘scrunchable’ plastic sleeves through the NZ Soft Plastics Recycling Scheme.
We do expect to see an industry funded national recycling solution for lids, caps and bottle tops – stay tuned!
* Changes to the Government’s kerbside collection guidelines mean that from 1 February 2024, lids, caps and bottle tops are no longer accepted in your recycling bin
UP&GO multi-pack plastic wrap
We’re investigating alternative packaging methods to help reduce or eliminate the use of plastic wrap on our UP&GO 3 and 6 packs, working closely with our packaging suppliers, distributors and retailers. In the meantime, you can recycle this soft plastic through the NZ Soft Plastics Recycling Scheme. Want to know more?
