It\u2019s a win-win situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vance Fairman-Smith, Greene King\u2019s group supply chain director, added:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know from previous years that the Tub2Pub is an easy way for people to reduce their environmental impact of festive waste.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur aim is to divert thousands more tubs from landfill or incineration, and we hope to see an even more positive response from communities across the UK this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe message is simple: don\u2019t let plastic tubs gather dust for another year or end up in the wrong bin.
