The chasing arrows symbol on plastic products may get tossed in the trash. The symbol, which indicates the type of plastic resin used, is often mistaken for a sign of recyclability. However, many plastic products with the symbol are not recyclable or are rarely recycled. A new bill in Congress aims to replace the symbol with a clear label that shows whether the product is recyclable, compostable or trash. #plasticrecycling #chasingarrows #recyclinglabel https://www.cbsnews.com/news/chasing-arrows-plastic-recycling-symbol-may-get-tossed-in-the-trash/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

While the small, plastic labels attached to fruit and vegetables help cashiers at grocery checkouts, experts say the stickers end up in Canada’s compost and landfills, which can create plastic pollution and contaminate soil. Thiru said she wants Canada to find an alternative. #plasticrecycling #packaging

I have been pleasantly surprised at how much clear plastic film I can recycle. Bread bags, cracker box liners, etc. Try it!

263 followers · 1298 posts · Server aus.socialThere’s quite a long list of plastics we’ll probably never manage to avoid on our own part, without going to extreme lengths to procure them plastic-free.
- plastic milk bottles
- plastic bags or wrappers for certain supermarket foods (eg. blocks of cheese, gluten free items for the coeliac in the house) or bulk foods (eg. some teas and spices, the goon bag that our olive oil comes in.)
- plastic bags/wrappers for pet foods and cat litter
- medication bottles and blister packs
- toothpaste tubes and electric toothbrush heads
- containers from other personal care and hygiene items, like my housemate’s shampoo which she’s unlikely to give up
- containers from the occasional takeaway meal
- all the packaging that comes with buying things online
There are also some jars and bottles that we can’t really reuse, especially some condiment bottles with awkward lids.
But the point isn’t so much about how EXTREME!!!11! we can be as individuals/as a household. The thing is, we need #SystemicChange so all this stuff isn’t so hard.
I learned a while ago that #CocaCola was instrumental in encouraging #PlasticRecycling, so that it didn’t have to use (more expensive) glass bottles. Our local dairy doesn’t do milk in glass, and while I could get it from further away via the wholefoods coop, I’d rather support local. But even with recycling glass, Australia has problems. When I was a kid, we had returnable, reusable glass bottles for some things…
