    What to do with

    PVC PACKAGING

    PVC is a type of plastic.

    It is difficult to tell if packaging is made from PVC, unless it has the image shown below. Sometimes it is used for meat packaging and cling film.

    This type of plastic is not recyclable and should be placed in the waste bin.
