In a revolutionary step towards sustainable manufacturing, reducing plastic pollution and creating local jobs, Britol and the Antler Group of Companies partnered with GP Certified to integrate certified recycled plastics into large-scale production of their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative marks a significant milestone in the plastics and recycling industry. Most brands in Sri Lanka use virgin plastics to produce their plastic packaging, everything from a shampoo to a toilet bowl cleaner is packaged in a bottle made with plastic that is imported, used once and discarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marking an impactful departure from business as usual, the Antler Group of Companies now uses safe, ethically produced and cost-effective GP Certified recycled plastics to replace up to 40% of the imported virgin with locally recycled plastics in some of their Britol range of products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antler Group of Companies Chairman Ashani Jayasinghe stated; \u201cFor over four decades, sustainability has guided Antler\u2019s journey, shaping how we innovate, manufacture and lead. Through the GP Certified programme, Antler and Island Climate Initiative is setting new standards. A standard that enables manufacturers, partners and communities, to take part in a circular environmentally responsible system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GP Certified Managing Director Chaminda Rajapakse stated; \u201cThis partnership with Antler represents a critical step in mainstreaming certified recycled plastics within the FMCG sector. This milestone directly supports the rollout of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in Sri Lanka by providing FMCG companies with a credible, local compliance pathway. GP Certified enables brands like Britol to meet EPR obligations through verified recycled content, traceability, and accountable downstream processing, reducing reliance on offsets or non-circular disposal. By linking compliant producers with certified recyclers, GP Certification helps translate EPR from a regulatory requirement into a practical, scalable market mechanism that strengthens domestic recycling and closes the loop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collaboration underscores the shared vision of GP Certified and Antler to drive the circular economy forward, inspiring industries to embrace certified recycled materials as the new norm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative was supported by the PLEASE project which was funded by the World Bank and implemented by the South Asia Co-operative Environment Program (SACEP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
