plastic we boycott

January 11, 2011 in Plastic Free Campaigns

There are many more people boycotting plastic these days (hooray) but boycotting all plastic is tricky which leads to compromises. Some people for example don’t include plastic caps and lids in their boycott others, medical supplies. We don’t count alcohol but include all of the following in our boycott.

Cans of soda and other drinks

Plastic wrapping, bags and packaging and bottles

Tetra Paks – cos they contain plastic.

Glass bottles and jars with plastic lined metal lids

Tin cans of food – they are nearly all plastic lined

Plastic screw top lids

Plastic coated paper and foil – a tricky one often hard to spot

Any other products for which there is a natural alternative.

We keep a record of all the plastic rubbish we create – you can find it over here in our bin
