J&G Environmental issues waste warning

J&G Environmental has issued a reminder to printers to properly separate their plastic-based waste or risk additional charges.

The company, which provides a plastic film and polythene wrap recycle service, has pointed out that plastic items or general waste are regularly being thrown in recycle bins. J&G has been separating the contents but recycling manager Darren Fairlie said: “We may need to make an additional charge for contaminated bales which we would rather avoid just as we know our customers would. It therefore seems timely to issue a reminder of the need to keep wrap and film recycling containers just for those items." He added: "We endeavour to make all our recycling services as easy as possible for customers - this helps everyone and most importantly the environment. There's no need to worry about separating colour of wrap or film; we just need to ensure that nothing else is added and that everyone is aware of the importance of that.”
