Soft Plastics

In Marlborough we are lucky with the ability to recycle soft plastics via Future Post. Future Post produces an alternative to treated timber for the wine industry and also general farming.

Council has used these posts for fencing have found them very good.

What is a soft plastic?

The programme takes all soft plastics including:

  • bread bags
  • frozen food bags
  • chip bags
  • pasta and rice bags
  • confectionery and biscuit wrap
  • squeeze pouches
  • shopping bags
  • toilet paper packaging

Basically, anything made of soft plastic which can be scrunched into a ball – but it must be clean, empty and dry.
