PACK AWAY packaging should be disposed of in mixed organic trash fraction along other food waste.
Plastic recycling uses high amounts of water, energy and it reintroduces microplastic into the environment. Recycling processes often produce lower-quality materials, leaving most plastic waste to pollute the environment. Most plastics aren’t recycled due to technical and economic barriers.
Seaweed does not need arable land for food crops (such as sugar cane, corn or cassava) and fresh water. It grows rapidly without fertilisers and pesticides. It absorbs CO₂ emissions. It does not require recycling, which uses high amounts of energy, water, and reintroduces microplastic into the environment.
Home compostable material can break down naturally in organic trash fraction, mixed waste or even in a regular home compost without leaving any toxic residues.
Compostable plastics is a subset of biodegradable ones. There are two types of compostable products, home compostable and industrial compostable (also known as commercial compostable).
A biodegradable material can be naturally broken down by microorganisms into harmless substances like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass, depending on environmental conditions.
Industrially compostable: Requires high temperatures and controlled conditions in special facilities to decompose.
Home compostable: Can break down in organic trash fraction or a regular home compost.
Single-use plastics are used briefly but stay for centuries, polluting land and water, harming wildlife, generating microplastics, and contributing to climate change through their production and disposal.
Single-use plastics, such as plastic bags and food wrappers, account for around 40% of plastic produced every year.
Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that persist in nature, polluting water, soil and air. They are ingested by animals and humans, disrupt ecosystems, and allow toxins to accumulate in food chains.
Only 9% of plastics are recycled globally, while in Europe it is 41%, with the rest incinerated, landfilled, or leaked into the environment. Many plastics are not even recyclable due to technical limitations.
