Packaging recycling

How to dispose of plastic packaging.

Plastic acceptance varies by resin, shape and local sorting infrastructure. A generic recycling symbol does not guarantee local acceptance.

Recommended route

Local packaging collection or a facility that lists the relevant plastic type.

Before disposal

  1. Empty containers
  2. Keep items loose unless instructed otherwise
  3. Check local rules for films and soft plastics

Avoid

Do not assume every plastic item belongs in the same recycling stream.
