Heineken UK is removing plastic rings and shrink wrapping from its beer and cider multi-pack cans as part of a 22 million investment.
The move will see the brewer remove 517 tonnes of plastic annually from the supply chain.
In place of the plastic rings, Heineken is switching to a topper made from sustainably-sourced cardboard. According to the brewer, this new topper is 100% recyclable and compostable and is robust and easy to grip.
The new topper will be rolled out across Heineken, Fosters
