Follow on Google News | Report shows UK's most 'wishcycled' items, as calls for retailers to do more growBy: Sadlers.co.uk
https://sadlers.co.uk has pulled together some of the common causes of uncertainty, noting the number of people in the UK searching online each month to get answers to queries including 'can I recycle' and 'can you recycle':
Given the vastly differing recycling policies and strategies across the UK, it is no wonder that consumers are struggling to work out what exactly they can recycle in their local area. Take the case of thin black plastic. Optical scanners often mistake black plastic for the black conveyor belt, leading to its rejection. Currently, only Buckinghamshire and Cambridgeshire recycle this specific type of plastic effectively, with the rest of the UK counties lacking the necessary infrastructure. "It's essential to understand what wishcycling means and why we should try to avoid it." says Lauren, "You can play your part in reducing waste and preserving our environment by learning more about recycling guidelines specific to your area and making informed decisions about what you place in the recycling bin."
