WYECYCLE
WyeCycle Limited is a not for profit community business, working
to protect the environment and create employment through the reduction
of waste in the village of Wye, Kent.
Formed in 1989, WyeCycle have been at the forefront of the development
of community based solutions to waste. Since July 1989 we have
carried out a weekly multi-material kerbside collection of recyclables.
In May 1990 this was expanded to include kitchen and garden organics-the
first such collection in the UK.
The largely homogenous nature of milk, the current existence
of a refill infrastructure, and its significance as a major food
item, make it a logical first target for such legislation. Enforcing
such a measure would make subsequent moves to reduce disposable
packaging for other liquid items acceptable and achievable.
(b) An immediate ban of PVC packaging (to be extended over time
to a total ban on PVC products).
(c) Legislation to reduce the use of multi-material packaging
eg sandwiched layers of paper/plastic/foil, and to promote single
material packaging such as glass.
(d) All plastic packaging to be clearly labelled with the type
of plastic used, and designed so that the entire unit can be recycled
without incompatible types of component parts having to be separated.
(e) Plastic bottles to be designed for ease of refilling, eg wide
necks, transparent materials, robust construction, with financial
incentives for refillable and penalties for one-trip containers.
(f) A ban on many specific types of plastic (egg boxes, packaging
chips, fruit punnets, etc) to be replaced by paper/cardboard.
(g) A high "recycled content" figure to be imposed for
glass containers.
