British Glass aims to step up lobbying on recycling and packaging issues, and has promoted Rebecca Cocking to the new role of head of container affairs. Rebecca was previously recycling manager at British Glass, a position held for six years. She started working at British Glass in 2000 and has played a key role in developing industry policy in relation to EU and UK recycling and waste legislation. The new position will focus on legislation, publicity and lobbying activities to support the use and recycling of glass. Rebecca will be in charge of communications and liaisons with other trade bodies such as FEVE, Packflow, the Packaging Federation, as well as the provision of advice, data and information to the UK glass sector. She will be supported in the role by data analysis officer Lucinda Heneghan. British Glass chief executive Dave Dalton said: "Rebecca is a well respected figure in the industry and has considerable experience and knowledge of the glass sector. I look forward to her expanding her influence in this new role."
