| I have to confess that I'm an obsessive tape remover when recycling cardboard boxes. However it often occurs to me that I'm very much in the minority in this respect as it can take ages to get every bit of parcel tape off the average box. I'm willing to bet that 90% of people don't bother, so the majority of the paper waste put out every week will be "contaminated" and I often wonder how this is dealt with at the recycling plant. On the upside companies like Amazon are more and more using paper tape and packing materials which helps a lot though we've still a long way to go. |
