Plastic bottles, bags, coffee cups, cutlery and fresh produce wrappers are all non-recyclable.
One of the first things people tend to focus on when they first decide to live more sustainably is single-use plastic. Plastic bottles, bags, coffee cups, cutlery and fresh produce wrappers are all non-recyclable. This means that they will most likely end up in a landfill, where it will produce methane that contributes to CO2 emissions. While it may seem like a harmless act, buying plastic shopping bags for your groceries indirectly causes a lot of damage to the environment, so single-use plastic is often the first to go.
