#Remember to wash/rinse cans and #plastic before putting them in their bins. If the bins are inside, this cuts down on any smell. And if your bins are outside, rinsing reduces the likelihood of pets or wandering animals digging through them. #eatsleeprecycle #plastic

#DidYouKnow The UK has a much higher use of HDPE bottles than most countries due to its use for containing milk. #eatsleeprecycle #recycle #plastic #HDPE
#DidYouKnow The four polymer types used are: PET (e.g. fizzy drink bottles and squash bottles) HDPE (e.g. milk bottles and detergent bottles) PP (e.g. ketchup bottles) PVC (e.g. large squash bottles). Although the use of PVC in such applications is in decline #eatsleeprecycle
#DidYouKnow #Plastic bottles are normally made from one of only four polymer types and are very easily identified, both by members of the public and those sorting the collected bottles. #recycle #plastic
#DidYouKnow #Plastic bottles are the most commonly collected #plastic packaging type.This is because they are easy to sort and there are well-developed markets for the recyclate. The bulk of bottles are made from PET or HDPE, which account for about 90%. #eatsleeprecycle #recycle
#recycle #plastic #DidYouKnow Most collections have focused on key packaging types where there is an end market in place i.e. #plastic bottles, which are heavier than most other plastics and therefore relatively easy to handle and sort. #eatsleeprecycle
#eatsleeprecycle #plastic #recycle #DidYouKnow Due to the light nature of most #plastic packaging, it means that a lot needs to be collected to make it economic to do so.
#eatsleeprecycle #plastic #environment #recycle #DidYouKnow There are a lot of different polymer types and forms of #plastic in the waste stream. This makes it more difficult to sort and reprocess than other materials.

This is how this Central American country managed to double the size of its rainforest in a generation. Creating jobs and supporting local communities in the process. We have the solutions, let's implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #GreenNewDeal #go100re
