Market Share of United Kingdom Plastic Bottles Industry
In the United Kingdom, the plastic bottle sector is fragmented. It is spearheaded by prominent domestic entities like Esterform Packaging, Berlin Packaging, and Robinson Packaging alongside global players such as Amcor Group GmbH and Aptar Group. These frontrunners actively pursue strategies like mergers, acquisitions, and product launches to fortify their foothold in the region.
- April 2024: Aldi became the first supermarket in the United Kingdom to transition its own-brand soft drinks and bottled water range to 100% recycled PET, with the exception of the cap and label. This initiative is projected to conserve approximately 10,000 tonnes of virgin plastic each year. Furthermore, it aligns with Aldi's broader ambition to incorporate 50% recycled content into all its plastic packaging by the year 2025.
- March 2024: A leading beverage company in the United Kingdom, Brookfield Drinks, launched its new spring water range, NEO WTR, in 250 Tesco superstores. This makes NEO WTR the first beverage brand in Europe to introduce a bottle made entirely from prevented ocean plastic. Brookfield Drinks debuted this innovative bottle, which features a fully recycled ocean-bound plastic composition, along with a recyclable cap and label.
