Make it recycle ready

Cut them into A3 size to make sure they fit. Large pieces of cellophane are too bulky to be placed in soft plastic bins at supermarkets.

Where does cellophane go next?

It will be:

  1. collected by REDcycle.
  2. taken to REDcycle facilities for processing.
  3. taken to manufacturing facilities to be turned into new recycled products.

Why can’t cellophane go in my recycling bin?

Current recycling sorting facilities aren’t equipped to sort these softer types of plastic and they can get caught in equipment. This slows down the sorting lines and can even stop the equipment for periods of time.

Want to recycle something else?

Search for another item to find out if it can go in your home recycling bin or if it needs to be dropped off somewhere else.
