Green, In our rural area, we can only recycle 1 and 2 plastic bottles. Here are some ideas for plastics beyond 2: 3 vinyl. Like what you read? Sign up for daily updates from Sierra magazine. Sign up is Processing. It is unacceptable to expect the public or even local authorities to identify all this vaguely labelled material. Even some marked items have such small recycling triangles that its impossible to read them without a magnifying glass. Why is this allowed?
They need to reduce the amount of packaging or label it more clearly. I agree that the onerous should be put on the designer of the product and packaging to ensure waste is minimal and can be disposed of responsibly through existing recycling schemes or composting. It is unfair that the public and local authorities should bear the brunt of poor design.
My local authority recycles plastic bottles, plastic trays, plastic pots picture of yoghurt pot , plastic tubs picture of margarine tub. I am glad you have found the information useful I was wondering if all my black sprinkler parts are recyclable?
Any ideas? Unfortunately these cannot be recycled in the recycling bin. You would be best to see if you can give them to anyone who might need them. Try your local allotments, community gardens or posting them on Facebook marketplace. Unfortunately plastic remote controls cannot be recycled in kerbside household recycling, however you can take it to a household waste recycling facility aka the dump and recycle it with ]the electronics. I would rather not put them in the standard bin, please help!
Nothing mentions 2b plastic, often used for trays of raw meat. Meat trays should be fine to recycle as long as they have been cleaned before you put them in your recycling. Hallo, Thank you for this helpful article. Will aluminium and plastic be separated by recycling? Hi, HDPE as a plastic can be recycled. I am not sure what item you have in mind where there is aluminium and HDPE together.
Would you be able to tell me what the item is? What does it mean? The C stands for Chitosan, which comes from the discarded shells of shell fish, this is used to create the plastic and therefore allows it to biodegrade. EPP will not be accepted as it would be classed as a polypropylene film, which cannot be recycled. EPE may be accepted if your local authority takes plastic carrier bags as these are also made from polythene.
PP films are not accepted. Is there anywhere to recycle the plastic used to wrap around products on a pallet to keep it together? I think the correct term is shrink wrap plastic or film. It comes in rolls. However, if it is for commercial waste, have a chat with your waste collection company. I have a broken pepper mill. Surely this should not be sent to landfill?
There must be thousands of theses they are for sale in every supermarket. There are also smaller versions on sale that are non refillable. That is an especially appalling idea since they are comprised of plastic moulded on to glass. A product made of plastic is often stamped with a resin code, which is a number between one and seven inside a small triangle made of arrows.
HDPE plastics are also extremely common. A lot of plastic wrappings are made of LDPE plastic. PP is used to make the food containers used for products like yogurt, sour cream and margarine. Grocery stores collect these bags for proper plastics recycling. Both individuals and businesses should also bear in mind that here in Massachusetts, the statewide waste ban prohibits the disposal of any single resin narrow-necked bottles aka, soda bottles in trash bins.
