Therefore, as a key stakeholder of REPLAST we were actively engaged with their team to arrive at the best solution for recyclability of this bottle type. We are happy to announce that dark or amber bottles, will now be collected at the REPLAST Collection Points (RCP) in the north and south of the island.”
