RECYCLABLE

Can I put this is my blue bin? Check your local authority here. Some councils will recycle these materials; other areas may require further collection. 100% recyclable means it requires no separation or preparation before treating. Always Reduce and Reuse before you choose to Recycle.

REUSABLE

Products that are intended for repeated use. Reusable items remove the need for waste to be processed, reducing the environmental impact. At the end of life, you can recycle these products. Find a recycling facility.

–

COMPOSTABLE

Products that are compostable can be broken down naturally using heat, light, moisture and CO2. Must be able to decompose in an industrial composter within 60-90 days.

Organise a compostable packaging collection with First Mile here. They have pay-as-you-go options for all businesses. It is important to note that compostable products are typically not recyclable and should never go to a landfill.

BIODEGRADABLE

A material that can undergo biological anaerobic or aerobic degradation, such as our aqueously lined cups. Decomposable with bacteria and or other living organisms, thereby avoiding pollution. If a product is 100% biodegradable, it can go in any bin.
