I reckon recycling is a complete waste of time. There's more plastic in those wheely bins than in a lifetime of plastic bags

I'm convinced it's nothing more than a right on gesture.
I've a good mind to say sod it and not bloody bother (and I'm a woman who spent a total of three years washing shitty nappies in an effort to be right on).

Plastic bottles are (or were) generally always made of PET. That's the kind which goes white at the crease when you fold it. That's why they specify plastic bottles, to stop people putting things like yoghurt pots and sandwich containers in the same mix, which are another plastic.
