or aluminium containers actually. no problem to recycle.

Funny enough if you look at the data it's not even close!If we incinerated all waste and used that energy to generate electricity we would probably be better off environmentally when all elements, costs and resources of "recycling" are considered.
Addressed in the earlier study.or aluminium containers actually. no problem to recycle.
It's likely not a cooked take-away as was being discussed then?My curries come in cardboard
It is cooked, delivered from a takeaway.It's likely not a cooked take-away as was being discussed then?
Are you sure it's cardboard and not compostible fibre board? Cardboard is porous so a liner made of plastic or some other material would be required, hence pizza boxes generally being diverted to composting or incineration.It is cooked, delivered from a takeaway.
We get noodles and rice in cardboard with the inside lined with a shiny coat of something to seal it. Most other dishes are in either the aluminium or plastic containers. I wash and reuse the plastic ones but have quite a few surplus ones now. Handy for freezing things.Are you sure it's cardboard and not compostible fibre board?

Where is the data to be seen though and how valid is it. Recycling is a big agenda keeping many people busy especially in Govts.Funny enough if you look at the data it's not even close!
Lots of studies published on the matter, it's easy enough to weed out the vested interest spin. The one I linked earlier for example includes details of the full life cycle impact, including the energy & pollution involved in production, transportation. and recycling. Have a read and then convince me burning stuff comes close to being better overall.Where is the data to be seen though and how valid is it.
Gosh, can you put pizza boxes in the brown compostable bin? I did not know that. I have been putting them in the general rubbish black bin as they are contaminated with food so can’t recycle them.Are you sure it's cardboard and not compostible fibre board?

Yep, and also other non-recyclable items such as napkins and paper towels.Gosh, can you put pizza boxes in the brown compostable bin? I did not know that. I have been putting them in the general rubbish black bin as they are contaminated with food so can’t recycle them.
What about disposable nappies ???Yep, and also other non-recyclable items such as napkins and paper towels.
Probably not a surprise, but no. Human waste not accepted even if you did manage to find a disposable nappy that was fully compostable.What about disposable nappies ???
Ddi you try at a return machineyet.....?...if it works then just shows you how expense the Store (is that a specific shop ) is.This is becoming a joke.
I ordered a sports drink online from an Irish Company and paid less money including shipping that I would have paid in Store (nearly 20% less) and no deposit charged.
To my surprise the shipment came from Lithuania and all 48 cans have the re-deposit logo, so now I got another 7.20 discount.
Yes, sure ship it from Lithuania but make sure I recycle the can to safe the world!
We got 2 takeaways recently. The Indian came in tinfoil boxes with cardboard tops, they gave us poppadoms and the sause was in those white polystyrene things. The naan bread and poppadoms were in those heavy paper bags.I only ever see paper and compostable cardboard from takeaways.
