Coca-Cola Europacific Partners and Merlin Entertainments are continuing their recycling initiative in summer 2025, once again offering families across the UK the chance to win \u201eunforgettable experiences\u201c by recycling a single plastic bottle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The campaign runs from 1 July to 7 September 2025 and includes 30 reverse vending machines at 12 popular Merlin leisure attractions.<\/p>\n

Participants who hand in an empty 500 ml plastic bottle in one of the specially designed reverse vending machines will receive a ticket to take part in a prize draw. The main prizes include exclusive VIP experiences, it is said.<\/p>

In addition to Cadbury World, Legoland Windsor, Legoland Discovery Centre Birmingham, Warwick Castle, The Blackpool Tower and several Sea Life locations in London, Brighton, Birmingham and Blackpool are also represented.<\/p>\n

Since the campaign was launched Over 175,000 plastic bottles have already been collected by the take-back system<\/strong>, it says. Jo Padwick, Senior Sustainability Manager at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, said: \u201eWith the addition of Cadbury World prizes, we are offering our customers an even more attractive incentive to recycle their bottles.\u201c<\/p>\n

Communicating sustainability through play<\/h3>\n
