Netting around fruit, like the mesh used for oranges, onions, or garlic, is tricky to recycle. Most of these nets are made from low-grade plastic that recycling systems struggle to get value from, so they often end up being incinerated. However, most supermarkets will accept them with soft plastics. A better option is to or choose loose produce where possible.

This episode of Recycled Content, is the 'Rubbish or Not' from episode 28 of Talking Rubbish, which first aired on 6th February 2025.

While every effort has been made to provide the most accurate information, recycling guidance changes quickly and some advice may become outdated over time. Always check with your local council for the rules that apply to recycling in your area. On the main Talking Rubbish podcast, we include an additions and corrections section where we update anything we may have got wrong.
