So, they\u2019re developing a new range of recycling labels that make it easy to know what you can and can\u2019t recycle, which means more stuff goes into the right bin, and the wrong stuff doesn\u2019t contaminate the good. You with me? Because guess what, WastePlan, a South African recycling company, says that of the 150 000 households that participate in their recycling programme, more than 10% of material is contaminated and ends up on the landfill.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/pic3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-294\" alt=\"pic3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/pic3.jpg\" width=\"750\" height=\"1129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/pic3.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/pic3-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/pic3-680x1024.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The new labels let you know what component of the packaging is; the type of material it\u2019s made from (including what sustainable materials are used); and whether or not each element is being recycled in South Africa, or not.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Using the same icons on packaging designs across the retail and waste management sector will improve the rate of recycling&#8230; Our aim is for the design of the Woolworths on-pack recycling label to become the adopted standard for all packaging in South Africa &#8211; Kiril Dimitrov, Woolworths Foods Packaging Manager.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Woolworths on-pack recycling label can be seen in-store on a select number of product lines.
