In the UK we throw away over 1.5 million tonnes of plastic packaging from households every year.
Many of us are well used to recycling plastic bottles, but few of us have the luxury of a mixed plastics recycling collection service. The norm is for the majority of pots, tubs and trays such as yogurt pots to end up in landfill or to be exported.
