Mixed News About Recycling - UK needs to Improve the Quality of Recycled Materials.
While everyone is in favour of a greater proportion of plastic being recycled, not everyone is aware of the cost and complexity of the processes needed to achieve this. Dirty and/or mixed waste plastic has hardly any value at all and is fit only for the waste stream feed into an Energy from Waste Unit which will cost you about £90 a tonne (you pay them). At least this is cheaper than £113.15 a tonne at a landfill site (includes the Landfill Tax). On the other hand if you had clean, baled mixed bottles strapped on a pallet you might be paid £70 a tonne - and if you had clear, light blue PET bottles you might get as much as £240 a tonne.
