Lack of recyclability shits me. Especially when something that used to be packaged in cardboard is suddenly being sold in plastic.

Also, most plastic bottles are recyclable. Plastic bottles used for juice, flavoured milks, and water from the fridge section, recycle that shit! But not if it’s Ice Break. Those big chunky Ice Break bottles that seem no-brainer recyclable are clearly marked as non-recyclable.

@BlueSquid0741

Are Ice Break (2 litre) bottles not recyclable?

There's no deposit on them, but they're marked with "please recycle".

The back of a 2 litre Ice Break (ice coffee) bottle.

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! 😱
