In Australia it's #NationalRecyclingWeek which was launched by @PlanetArk 25 years ago! Whilst prevention is king, let's not just have faith in the recycling industry's future, but also #spreadthefaith and #educate to help reduce scepticism and apathy.

@PackagingNerd Yes, the REDcycle drop-off bins are available at 1500 retail stores across Australia that accept soft plastics. This scheme has been building rapidly over the last 5 years. Patronage is still very low. We kicked off the #softplasticsrecyclingchallenge to try to kick it along.

@AIPACKAGING Suitable where paper is collected separately from other packaging, but not so in a commingled system due to 3D paper items not readily reaching the mixed paper (2D) stream.

Flexible pouches behave differently in MRFs to soft plastics. Multi-material pouches have historically been common but many converters now offer 'Recycle Ready' pouches.

Check It! Before You Chuck It.

We are calling on all Australians to check the #AustralasianRecyclingLabel (ARL) every time you're at the bin so that you #recycle packaging right.

Check for the ARL on your packaging today

Should have said impacts can go up!

[prepdesign @prepdesign]

Heard a new term today from a recycler: #rightweighting. Johannes Bergmair from WPO also explains that if we reduce packaging too much, we may deliver lower environmental impacts. #foodwaste

Amazing effort by Aldi to have assessed and labelled so many products in such a short time. #recyclable #packaging

[Planet Ark @PlanetArk]

You can now find the #AustralasianRecyclingLabel on over 4,200 ALDI products! 👏
