I have just been inspired by an article on Countryfile this evening. Plastic packaging used to package some fruit ( e.g. apples, pears) and frozen food packaging used for veg, chips etc. In fact it's plastic bag packaging that if stretched doesn't break, can be recycled with plastic carrier bags! If 50 people read this post and I have taught them something they didn't know, then I will be a happy ppp. Thanks for reading! ppp
