Bevco has decided to discontinue its plastic bottle return scheme, effective immediately. The company announced that it will no longer accept returned bottles from customers.
Bevco, a leading beverage distributor, announced today that it will discontinue its plastic bottle return scheme, effective immediately. The company had introduced the program earlier this year to encourage recycling of its PET bottles.
In a statement, Bevco said that after reviewing the scheme’s operational costs and participation rates, it decided the program was no longer viable. The company will focus on alternative sustainability initiatives instead.
Customers who have been returning bottles for discounts or refunds will no longer be able to do so from today. Bevco has advised its retail partners to inform consumers about the change.
The decision comes amid growing scrutiny of corporate recycling programs across India, with several companies reassessing their environmental commitments.
