Are Ice Break (2 litre) bottles not recyclable?
There's no deposit on them, but they're marked with "please recycle".
@Davriellelouna
Holy crap, @BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.org is right about their lack of recyclability. Just think of the plastics garbage volume all our tradies will be generating! 😱
I’ve never seen a 2l bottle of it. I think 750ml is the usual one?
But the ‘please recycle’ thing I believe is outdated. Packaging now tells you what to do with components of the packaging, as an example something might say “Bottle” and have a recycle symbol, “Cap” and have a recycle symbol, “Foil seal” and have a bin symbol.
Tetrapaks will have the recycle symbol but say under it “Check locally”. Well when I looked into that there’s almost nowhere in the country that accepts recycling of tetrapaks.
Anyway. I got an ice break a few months ago for the first time in years and I think it was either “Rubbish” or “check locally”. But I used ice break as an example because they annoyed me not using easily recyclable packaging like other flavoured milk bottles.
Contradicts what I said earlier I know. You got me thinking about it a bit more what I remember being on their bottle.
