SACHET AWAY

CAFES are being urged to bring back ketchup bottles and ditch sauce sachets.

Environment campaign group Zero Waste Scotland is demanding hospitality businesses slash single-use waste after a pilot scheme led to a massive fall in the number of disposable items thrown away.

The 12-month Ditching Disposables scheme saw sachet use drop by 99 percent when firms switched to refillable bottles.

Takeaway cup use dropped by 96 percent when customers were charged for single-use cups and offered reusable cups for a deposit.
