recycling our cartons

Plans for a new beverage carton recycling plant in the UK have just been announced, which is great news as it means UK based recycling for all of our cartons.

Our drinks cartons are made from paper with a very thin layer of plastic on either side which makes it waterproof. Up until now cartons that have been collected for recycling have had to be exported to mainland Europe to be recycled, but come next year when the new UK plant is up and running, they'll no longer have so far to travel.

At the moment 89% of UK households can recycle cartons, either through kerbside collection schemes or through a bring-bank system, but hopefully once the new plant is operational that figure will be even higher.

I plan to recycle my next drink carton by using it as a hanging basket for my orchid plants (inspired by the displays at Kew Gardens). I've done the bottles already. .. see http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3250923912731&set=p.3250923912731&type=1&theater

its about time the UK started more recycling we are very poor at it and also you can not recycle anything and thats wrong.
so come on get recycling more and try to get company's to do there bit too.

thing is its probably the one that is being proposed right at the bottom of my garden... 48 wagons a day going in and coming out too.... why cant it be in the middle of no where instead of in the middle of a village!!!!
