SGLD Guidance Notes 002
Plastic waste has become a big issue and horticulture is no small part of the problem. Every garden project directly generates plastic waste, most of which has limited or no route for being recycled. Whilst the industry is focussing on pots and making some effort in this direction, other sources of plastic are equally problematic. These include, but are not limited to: pot carry trays, seed and plug trays, labels, ties, groundcover membranes, fleece, windbreak mesh, artificial grass, polytunnel covers etc.
