Just seen this shared on facebook and thought I'd pass it on here ..
For everyone who has bought or received tubs of sweets this Christmas, I know they can often be used for storing baking goodies or left overs but we often end up with too many to keep!
Tens of millions of tubs such as these are sold in the UK every year…. Christmas being an especially busy time!
Pleased to tell you about a great recycling initiative at any Green King pub, hotel or restaurant across the UK, from 1-31st January. They will happily take any clean…
-Confectionery tubs
-Biscuit tubs
-Cracker tubs.
(They must have the 5/PP plastic logo.)
After 31 January, all the tubs are collected and taken to a plastic reprocessing centre where they’re shredded, before being sold onto plastic manufacturers to use in place of virgin plastics. All money raised from the sale of Tub 2 Pub plastics will be given directly to Macmillan Cancer Support.
We would all rather do without these tubs I’m sure but it’s inevitable they are gifted or sometimes needed for festivities and it’s reassuring to know that they can go in to be repurposed in other ways, without finding their way into landfill or our oceans.
Check out this link, check your labels and find your nearest drop off point!
