By placing trackers inside packages of soft plastic that were collected by Sainsbury\u2019s and Tesco in July 2023 and February 2024, campaigners found that most of them ended up being incinerated rather than recycled.<\/p>\n<p>When Sainsbury\u2019s launched its in-store soft plastic collection in 2021, it said: \u201cThe innovative recycling system allows customers to recycle polypropylene film found in several household products.\u201d Tesco said its customers would be able to bring back any soft plastic packaging for recycling. Soft plastic is hard to recycle and very few facilities in the UK have the ability to process it. Alison Colclough, of Everyday Plastic, said: \u201cOur trackers reveal the hard truth about soft plastic recycling schemes at supermarkets \u2013 soft plastic packaging is not going to get recycled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe majority of the bundles of soft plastic we tracked ended up being burned for energy recovery \u2013 a solution that is being deployed more and more in order to deal with the unmanageable amount of plastic waste. \u201cThe takeback schemes are being presented as a solution, which is diverting attention from the main issue that can\u2019t be overlooked: far too much unnecessary plastic packaging is being produced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2024\/oct\/01\/soft-plastic-collected-for-recycling-burned-tesco-sainsburys-campaigners\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-602\/\">Most soft plastic collected for recycling is burned, campaigners say<\/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":[575,764,16321],"class_list":["post-134257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-recycling","tag-soft-plastic"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134257","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=134257"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134257\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
