Plastic free holiday

Packing for a holiday can be exciting but can also cause a headache. It ends up being a game of tetris trying to make use of every nook and cranny in your suitcase, especially when it comes to the carry-on liquid restriction.

I’m having an issue with my Van Permit application

Why can I not recycle other types of plastic in my mixed recycling bin?

The only types of plastic you can recycle in your mixed recycling bin at home are plastic bottles.

Why only plastic bottles?
A bottle and a food tray are made of the same type of plastic but not the same grade of plastic, therefore the grades of plastic will behave differently when they are recycled, as they melt at different temperatures. Our Materials Recycling Facility cannot sort between the different grade of plastics, and so they can’t be recycled together.

There are really good reasons why we can only recycle plastic bottles in Greater Manchester:

1. Manufacturers that make new products demand high grade plastics. High Grade = Plastic Bottles.
2. Plastics like pots, tubs and trays are a low grade plastic and the manufacturers just don’t want these.
3. During the recycling process, the plastic is melted. Plastic bottles and plastic pots, tubs and trays melt at different temperatures, meaning the pots, tubs and trays contaminate the bottles and can’t be used to make new products.
4. Other areas may collect plastic pots, tubs and trays, but currently very little is recycled. Most of it is used to make electricity.
