| Why only plastic bottles? |
Until recently UK reprocessors were only able to sort and recycle plastic bottles and other types of rigid plastic packaging were not accepted or rejected. This is starting to slowly change, with some reprocessors accepting other types too, but the majority are still only able to recycle plastic bottles. Somerset Waste Partnership continues to keep this situation under review and will consider collecting other types of plastic if this can be done affordably and stable outlets secured, preferably in the UK. |
