For example, moulded plastic food trays are marked as recyclable, but
the label often says that the plastic covering film is not.
For meats, bacon, and many other foods the covering film is sealed to
the rim of the plastic tray, so that it is virtually impossible to
remove all the film.
So the tray is recyclable but with a small amount of non-recyclable
plastic fused to the rim.

And what about those bloody boxes for stuff like quiche that have windows,
and it says 'cardboard carton recyclable; window not recyclable', so you're
expected to grovel about, picking off the plastic.

It's the wide available products like these which to my mind demonstrate
the lack of will to seriously address recycling


Its all a green con anyway.

no one uses council compost because its likely contaminated. nearly all
waste ends up as landfill anyway despite what you do to it
