According to Roberts PolyPro, the new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) handles are fully recyclable and can be reapplied to cans, making them easier to carry.
The handles also allow the cans to be closely stacked for improved packing.
Roberts PolyPro product manager Richard Brothers said: “Tabs that push to hold and lift to remove give the new handles their distinctive appearance.
