How Wybone Recycling Bins Can Help Supermarket Soft Plastics Recycling Strategies

Soft plastics are lightweight plastics that often cannot be placed in recycling bins at home, making them a serious cause for concern. It is due to their complex polymers that they can’t be disposed of in the same way as other plastics, but that doesn’t mean they cannot be recycled. It just means that we need to make more of an effort to dispose of them properly and sustainably.

Most plastic carrier bag collection points will accept; bread bags, delivery bags, breakfast cereal liners, frozen food bags, dry cleaning bags, magazine and newspaper wrappers, LDPE plastics, multi-pack wrapping, toilet roll wrapping and fruit and vegetable nets.

At Wybone we have a range of recycling bins that can be utilised by supermarkets and businesses to increase their recycling. From large scale, multi stream units, to mini, under the desk units; we have the solution.

We recently manufactured a unit for a leading UK supermarket with soft plastics and waste electrical equipment recycling bins. By combining our bins with our recycling artwork and apertures, we can provide recycling solutions that are customisable in order to meet anyone’s needs. 

Lots of major supermarkets do, and can accept other soft plastics such as; biscuits and chocolate wrapping, baby, pet food, detergent and cleaning pouches, cling film, bubble wrap, crisp and sweet bags, plastic film lids, cheese, fish and meat wrapping and salad, pasta and rice bags.

They can also recycle small waste electrical items like irons, hairdryers, straighteners, kettles and electric toothbrushes. As well as household batteries.

Our Box Cycle bins are recycling units featuring interchangeable, lift off lids and are available in plastic or galvanised steel, with coloured or transparent bodies. They come in a variety of configurations to match your needs.

The Torpedo recycling range comes in lots of different shapes and sizes, and can also be customised with artwork, lids and apertures. You can have different waste streams in each compartment to collect various recyclable products such as soft plastics, paper and glass bottles.

The C-Bin range is an infusion of our Torpedo and Box Cycles ranges; it features a hinged lift up lid and removable bodies that lift out for easy cleaning.
