Easter recycling
Over the years chocolate egg packaging has been a hot topic due to the high proportion that couldn’t be recycled. This is slowly changing with major retailers promising to reduce their packaging which is egg-cellent!
Show a little love to the planet - pick Easter treats with the recycling bin in mind so we can recycle as much as possible this bank holiday.
Around 80 million Easter eggs are eaten in the UK each year which generates around 4,500 tons of Easter egg packaging.
It's important we pick sustainably and recycle wherever possible. To help you recycle right this Easter we've put together a list of handy recycling tips and ideas.
