Petition Action

Legislate so that no FMCG company can sell coloured plastic packaging.

Petition Details

The world of recycling is very confusing, many plastic products sold are technically recyclable however, due to the inclusion of colourants in the plastic are never recycled as the coloured bottles contaminate the recycled plastic.

Additional Information

Recycling only works when there is a end product of good quality to sell. Inclusiong of colourants into plastic packaging makes this very difficult and therefore reduces the amount of plastic that is recycled or contaminates the current recycled plastic that its future sale is limited.
