Plastic wrap
These items can be placed into your grey bin.
A large proportion of plastic wrap packaging is difficult to recycle as it is not clear which type of plastic it is.
Large supermarkets now provide collection containers for a wide range of plastic packaging e.g. bags and film from pasta, dried fruit, paper products, salad, fruit and vegetable products etc. They will be recycled into new plastic products.
