Recyclable vs Biodegradable packaging

This poythene is 100% recyclable - message included on all carrier sheets distributed by Yes ResponseAs with all companies, our clients are trying to be more environmentally friendly, and we are often asked about biodegradable and recyclable mailing and packaging options. Many companies, however, to not stop to think about the meaning behind these types of packaging and in fact think that they are one and the same.

In reality, biodegradable packaging all goes into landfill, or if it is included with recycled materials, it will contaminate them. Recycled packaging, on the other hand, is 100% recyclable material that can be extracted from general waste and made into many new products such as coloured refuse sacks, plastic pallets, park benches, sign posts, and much more. On all polybag mailings that we distribute, we include a small message to inform users that the polythene is 100% recyclable.
