For release: immediate
BSDA statement on litter
It is not companies that drop litter but
people, and they are wrong to do so. Used packaging
should be treated not as a burden but as a resource – it can and
should be collected for recycling, and should never be dumped as
litter.
BSDA supports Keep Britain Tidy and the Love
Where You Live campaign and soft drinks companies themselves are
active in campaigns against litter in the locations where they
operate.
