The firms will, in the first instance, encourage families to rehome toys by giving them to friends, families, local charities or schools in need. Hasbro\u2019s reasoning is that memories can be kept even if toys are given away or recycled.<\/p>\n<p>Toys not rehomed or donated will then be accepted in take-back bins at Tesco supermarkets across Sussex. Toys from all brands an in all conditions will be accepted. Broken toys will be processed by Wastebuster, which will oversee collection, cleaning and processing. The processing involves separating parts, melting the plastic and forming new pellets that can be used in new rigid plastic products.<\/p>\n<p>Families can log their recycling and rehoming efforts on the Wastebuster site. In exchange for their work, they can earn points for their school. The 50 highest-scoring schools in the area will be awarded with vouchers to spend on books from participating publishing houses. The recycling rate for toys is estimated to be lower than 20%. Given that toys and their packaging are often made using plastics that are hard-to-recycle, they have been the target of several environmental campaigns in recent years, including initiatives that resulted in McDonald\u2019s and Burger King ending plastic toy distribution in the UK and other markets.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/tesco-trials-take-back-and-recycling-for-plastic-toys\/\">Edie<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-393\/\">Tesco trials take-back and recycling for plastic toys<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,764,2592,11349],"class_list":["post-116645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-recycling","tag-tesco","tag-toys"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116645"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116645\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
