Comma, the world-class manufacturer and supplier of automotive lubricants and chemicals, has today announced that 98% of its plastic bottles contain 35% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic.
In July 2022, Comma first announced the implementation of PCR plastic into its product packaging. PCR plastic refers to any type of plastic material that is made from post-consumer resins which have been recovered and reused from waste.
The transition saw all Comma product bottles contain 35% PCR material, meaning less and better plastic going into workshops. Since then, Comma has been working towards increasing the percentage of its bottles that contain PCR plastic.
In a move aimed at enhancing sustainability in its business practices, Comma’s progress towards PCR bottles aligns with and supports the UK’s Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT). The PPT, first introduced on April 1, 2022, is a measure to encourage carbon saving efforts.
It imposes a charge on plastic packaging that contains less than 30% recycled material, affecting both domestically manufactured and imported goods in the UK, including the packaging of imported products.
A spokesperson from the Comma product team said: “When it comes to sustainable packaging, we are all in this together. At Comma, we’re not just committed to business excellence; we’re dedicated to helping our customers to make a positive impact too. We hope this initiative resonates with our workshop customers and distribution partners, as we eagerly look forward to continuing to support their business needs through a lens of sustainability. This move reinforces our commitment to exceptional sustainability, while maintaining the high-quality standard of our products.”
