RECYCLING
Posted: Wed Jan 24, 2018 7:40 pm
Have always thought that the "chasing arrows triangle" on plastic trays and polystyrene etc. just meant that item could be recycled - RONG !!!!
.
Quite fascinating when I googled it: the number associated with the triangle refers to differing types of plastic - polystyrene, polycarb, pvc, and is not an sign that anything can automatically be recycled. Quite the reverse in most cases actually.
Most Councils aren't good at recycling plastic unfortunately and it ends up in landfill
. Shame.
One day maybe .......
