It is 46% across the group.

In 2021 you had a plant-based plastic prototype bottle. Is that right? Is there progress on that?

How uneconomic was your prototype?

I am conscious of time. Can I ask about virgin plastic? On your website, you have a target to stop using oil-based virgin plastic in your bottles by 2030. Virgin plastic can be produced using natural gas as well. I was thinking about the wording.

It would be interesting to know. There is clearly a solution there, but it is considered uneconomic by industry. It would be interesting to know why it is so uneconomic. That is the end of my question.

You touched on my last question there. You are supportive of the treaty because you think it will reduce your own chances of being plastic polluters.

8 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 929)

You mentioned one of your targets earlier. There seem to be different targets depending on which year you go to. You mentioned carbon emissions. In 2023, you had a target of reducing emissions by 25% by 2030 based on a 2015 baseline. The following year, the target changed to reducing it based on a 2019 baseline and rea

You are right. There are different targets—this is what is confusing for consumers—between Coca-Cola, as the mother company, and you, as a bottling company. Looking at your specific targets, you have committed to 100% of your primary packaging being recyclable by 2025. Has that happened?

Your company is responsible for Coca-Cola across Europe and Australia. If it is 65% in Great Britain, do you have a level for plastics recycling in Europe?

Joe, Surfers Against Sewage says that Coca-Cola’s plastic waste is found in 50% of all the audits and that you are the worst plastics polluter for the last four years consecutively. My colleague just mentioned scope 3 emissions. In your 2023 sustainability report, those increased. Can you talk to us a little bit about

1 Jul 2025British Indian Ocean Territory: Sovereignty

The Minister has just set out the scrutiny that this matter has received in various places, but I was really taken by the number of questions that he said he had received from the shadow Foreign Secretary on this subject. Can he tell me how many questions he has received on other matters of global importance?

I pay tribute to the hon. Member for Yeovil (Adam Dance) for sharing that traumatic experience with us, and to the bravery that it must have taken. I also pay tribute to teachers in my constituency. I met secondary heads just before Christmas, and will meet all our primary school heads together in the coming month. I a

I congratulate my right hon. Friend. With over 5,000 Macclesfield jobs dependent on AstraZeneca, I welcome the health data research centre, the slashing of trial times and the focus on life sciences. Will he set out how he is supporting Department of Health and Social Care colleagues to further deliver for life science
