Terracycle says its started a new scheme in west london so people can drop off a range of packaging at their local recycling centre. brands pay a fee for working with terracycle — it can be anything from tens to hundreds of thousands of pounds a year. the amount that can be recycled depends on how much they pay, so theres a limit to the number of collection points. for many, the fee also includes use of the terracycle logo on their packaging. so, when shoppers buy something with that logo on i...

To collection points. no—one uses our programmes the way that you asked that family to use our programmes. they either are already going to a collection location, that is the most common behaviour type. or, if not, its usually on their way and theyre accumulating close to three to four kilos per waste stream. a crumpet bag, it weighs four grammes, so if you wanted two kilos, youd have to get through 500 packets of crumpets. that seems unrealistic for a family, doesnt it? but thats not how peop...

Is that each type of packaging — for bread, cheese, snacks, biscuits or dishwasher tablets — has to go to a separate collection point. im seeing a bit of an issue here, because you have to go to different locations — you cantjust go to one place and do your terracycling for different packaging. the different collection points are between two and eight miles away from their home and in different directions. there we go, theres hayes. we work, we have busy lives, and theres no way that we ca...

So, what happens if there are no collection points near you. can you set up your own? we checked on the website. the kp scheme was closed to new volunteers. it says, "please note the programme is currently full. "please drop off your waste to an existing drop—off location." i think the terracycle logo is clearly indicating as a headline you can recycle. now if theres nothing alongside that to indicate, "guys, there might be some quite significant restrictions on this," it is potentially mislea...
