Can I recycle blue plastic – for example the punnets that mushrooms come in?
A. Yes, all colours of plastic are accepted. The only exception to this is black plastics and coloured bottles which contained alcoholic drinks, normally blue and brown, which can not be recycled and should be disposed of with your rubbish. Alcoholic drinks bottles contain a special liner which cannot be separated from the bottle and could contaminate other bottles when reprocessed.
