Robinsons is trialling ditching plastic bottles for its squash and replacing them with Ecopacks. The squash brand will trial its innovative cartons made from 89% plant-based material from June.
The Robinsons Ecopack aims to reduce waste with 85% less plastic per serve, compared to a one litre bottle of Robinsons Double Concentrate. With the higher concentration of the squash - compared to its single or double concentrate drinks - the carton is the equivalent of three single concentrate bottles and results in significantly less packaging per serve.
With 60 serves per 500ml, the carton format also takes up less space, making it easy to transport and store at home. Robinsons Ecopack carton is primarily made from paperboard, sourced from responsibly managed forests. The cap uses plastic derived from renewable raw materials. There is a small amount of aluminium and non-renewable plastic which are necessary to form a watertight barrier – preventing liquid from seeping through and keeping the product fresh.
