Marks and Spencer has become the first supermarket to introduce invisible, ultraviolet tags on some milk bottles, aiming to revolutionise how plastic packaging is tracked through the recycling system. Developed by recycling technology firm Polytag, these innovative tags are now printed onto the labels of M&S’s four-pint milk bottles available nationwide, with the primary goal of significantly boosting recycling rates.

Currently packed in polythene, which takes years to decompose, Nandini milk will soon come in biodegradable covers made from corn and sugarcane derivatives. These eco-friendly covers decompose within 90 days of being discarded in soil. The initiative is being piloted by Bengaluru Milk Union Limited (BAMUL) and will be launched in Bengaluru later this month. It will be expanded across Karnataka in the coming months.

Greiner Packaging has long offered sealing lids that eliminate the need for a third component – a foil lid. By reducing the materials from three to two components, both the cup and the lid can be made from the same material, such as PP or PET. This saves resources, simplifies the packaging process, and improves recyclability. With the Click In sealing lid, Greiner Packaging is taking it a step further – setting new benchmarks in flexibility, safety, and environmental responsibility.
