Yoghurt pots – Can it be recycled?

March 1st, 2009 @ kadraoui

Yes, you can … Deposite it at your nearest Recycling for Charity recycling centers.

What are they made from?

Yoghurt pots are made from polystyrene.

Why do some councils collect mixed plastics and others don’t?

Currently, there are limited reprocessing facilities that can deal with mixed plastics. However, this is beginning to improve and over the next year or so, more local authorities will start to collect mixed plastics from residents.

What else can I do?

  • As with all plastic containers, where possible keep them for storage.
  • You can also use them for filling with juice before freezing to make ice lollies!
  • Schools & playgroups may use them as craft materials.
  • They can be used in the garden as pots for seedlings or cane covers.
