The Ribena recycled packaging design is being launched by the brand in a bid to help enhance the eco-friendly nature of its products and make it more suited for recycling after consumption. The packaging is achieved with 100% recycled plastic and is paired with a reduced plastic sleeve in comparison to the previous bottle design. This will help to make the bottle more easily detected as a clear plastic product during the recycling process to increase the likelihood of it going on to become something new.
The new Ribena recycled packaging design will be launching across the brand's Blackcurrant, Blackcurrant Light, Raspberry, Strawberry, Mango & Lime, Very berry and Pineapple & Passionfruit flavor options. The bottles with have a 500ml size and retail for £1.35 each.
