This report has been produced to support Defra in its understanding of the current levels of on-the-go (OTG) single use drinks containers that are placed on the market (POM), consumed, recycled or disposed of in the UK. Specifically, metal drinks cans, plastic and glass drinks bottles, drinks cartons and drinks pouches were researched. Defra requires estimates that are as accurate as possible for its packaging policy
work, therefore every effort has been made to provide error margins and robust assessments wherever possible.

Unlocking the full economic and environmental benefits of waste reduction and resource efficiency in the food and drink supply chain requires a rapid transition to a more sustainable food system. More efficient production and wasting less will help, but we should also consider the sustainability of the food we eat, sell and serve.
Pulses, grains and vegetables require fewer resources and generate less greenhouse gas emissions than other food types, and are therefore cornerstones of sustainable eating.
