Why can’t we put in bottle lids, yoghurt pots and plastic bags?
Bottle lids, yoghurt pots and plastic bags are all made from different kinds of plastic to those that are used for plastic bottles. Yoghurt pots are made from a type of polystyrene and there are very limited outlets for this material. Due to the contamination effect of the printing link on plastic carrier bags, the material can only be used for low grade and dark colour applications, such as bin liners. Many supermarkets accept plastic bags for recycling, or you could try using reusable bags.
