The British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) and British Soft Drinks Association (BSDA) worked in collaboration with Britvic Soft Drinks and Carlsberg (UK) on a joint project to reduce the amount of ingredient and product waste being sent to sewer and to land injection in the brewing and soft drinks industries: ‘Project Shandy’. This involved measuring waste arising and identifying hotspots for action. For Britvic, the key focus was reducing syrup waste.
