The number of local authorities collecting empty aerosol containers for recycling has increased from 87 to 96% in the UK, according to new figures published by Alupro, the aluminium packaging recycling body.
The figures also show that over the past three years the number of councils collecting aluminium foil for recycling increased from just 35% of councils in 2007 to currently 86%. ‘These latest statistics indicate foil is now also eligible for widely recycled status, comments Jane Bevis, chair of the On-Pack Recycling Label (OPRL).
Seven in ten consumers act on clear recyclability advice, states Bevis. ‘500 brands use our labels across hundreds of thousands of products, so that can make a real difference,’ she adds.
