improve national recycling targets
Manufacturers should use only recyclable plastics, or at least print recycling information in large print thus providing consumers with an option to purchase the product or not.
Why is this important?
National targets for recycling cannot be reached while some manufacturer’s plastic packaging provides no information regarding recycling. Meanwhile others state the container is recyclable but not the lid, and others place onus on consumers to check local policy. Councils and customers are expected to play their part in recycling - What are manufacturers doing?
