Bring it to a local grocerie store, or to your next big recycle place. Don’t throw it in your normal trash. Same goes for yogurt cups, or cetrain milk bottles 🙂
Even in countries where it is collected as recyclable, it is filtered out and trashed later. It is just not economical to recycle that kind of plastic so it always end up in a landfill or incinerator. Switzerland is just more upfront about that fact and doesn’t try to create fake good feelings.
there is also maag in winti if you want to drop it off somewhere:
I saw in your other post that you are from Poland:
Poland and Switzerland are on two opposite ends when it comes to recycling policies:
In Poland you recycle almost everything and there are very few fractions, just metal+plastic, glass, paper+cardboard. That’s because labor is cheap in Poland and they can afford manual sorting. Still a lot of plastic thrown into the containers for plastic ends up in landfill because it isn’t really recyclable.
In Switzerland you have gazillion fractions. There are three types of glass. Two types of plastic. Paper separated from cardboard. There are strict rules what can be thrown to each and please follow those rules exactly. If you make a mistake you can contaminate the batch and the whole batch can end up in the incinerator. Or even worse you can jam the sorting machine.
In particular for plastic:
**only bottles are recyclable**. Anything that is plastic and not a bottle goes to general waste. In Migros: PET bottles that contained drinks go to one container, other bottles go to another. In Coop: PET bottles that contained drinks go to one container, milk bottles go to another.
If you don’t have a more direct use yourself (e.g. using it as packaging to sell something), you put it into the trash to be burned for electricity.
They only recycle a select few very easily identifiable plastics where they’re sure what it is.
That’s the neat part: you don’t.
Just use it to wrap your next victim in.
Put it up your butt 💩👆😰
No just kidding you can actually recycle it in most local recycling centers
