Did you know you can now recycle soft or 'scrunchable' plastics at the supermarket? You may already realise that many plastics can't be recycled in the ordinary kerbside recycling:

• Bread bags
• Biscuit packets
• Frozen food bags
• Rice and pasta Bags
• Confectionery packets
• Newspaper wrap
• Cling wrap
• Plastic shopping bags
• Old green bags

Unfortunately, all too often these plastics end up in landfill!

The good news is you can now recycle scrunchable plastics by taking them to Coles and dropping them in designated bins. They will be taken to a special recycling plant and turned into kids’ playground equipment and outdoor furniture.

How cool is that?
