Lubrication technology firm Mobil has announced a new initiative to support sustainable packaging by unveiling its 50% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic pails.

According to the US-based firm, the pails aim to help customers decrease waste, turn waste into value and advance sustainability goals.

The 50% PCR pails are said to be the first pails packing for lubricating oils in India. The PCR pails promote the use of recycled plastic, which contributes to a decrease in plastic waste and promotes sustainable development.

For more than 30 years, Fat Tire has introduced an entire generation to craft beer, with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability since the start. As the climate crisis has worsened, we’ve doubled down on climate action and advocacy investments using every tool we have, including becoming America’s first certified carbon neutral beer.

Decree No. 16.089/2023 updates and establishes new guidelines for the implementation, structuring and operation of the take-back requirements system for packaging in Mato Grosso do Sul.

Compared to the last system, the new decree generally maintains the existing obligations and targets but includes new specific provisions, including more detailed information on the obligations of traders and distributors, as well as procedures for independent verification of invoices issued. The aim is to align state regulation with the National Solid Waste Policy.

While the beverage carton industry says it supports the European Commission’s vision that by 2030 all packaging should be recyclable and/or reusable, it has called for additions to the draft legislation.

Together, the companies hope to ensure the reuse of 3 million packaging items that would otherwise have been used once. Items will be collected from customers’ homes as part of Milk & More’s commitment to making sustainable packaging choices easier and more convenient.

Again will clean the collected packaging and sell it back to brands to be refilled and reused. The partnership will extend Milk & More’s zero-waste packaging offering, which currently encompasses 80% of everything it sells.
