Featuring insights from Bristol Waste, the episode looks at the challenges of capturing recyclable materials away from home, the success of Bristol's "In The Loop" recycling bins, and why clear messaging and convenient locations can make all the difference in keeping valuable materials out of general waste.

  • Are Capri-Sun pouches recyclable?
    Jun 6 2026

    After initially assuming the recycling label was wrong, James revisits the topic and uncovers how Capri-Sun's newer screw-cap pouches earned certification as recyclable through OPRL and RECOUP's testing process. Along the way, the discussion explores what actually makes packaging recyclable, why some pouches can now go in your kerbside recycling, and how brands such as Heinz helped pave the way. If you've ever wondered why one pouch says "Recycle" while another says "Recycle Back at Store," this episode clears up the confusion.

  • Can wet cardboard be recycled?
    Jun 5 2026

    Why does your council want recycling dry, and does rain really make a difference? This week we revisit a surprisingly common recycling dilemma. We explore what happens when paper and cardboard get wet, why moisture makes sorting harder at recycling facilities, and whether a soggy box is destined for the bin. Plus, some practical tips for keeping your recycling in good shape, and a reminder that wet cardboard can always find a second life in the compost heap.

    This episode of Recycled Content, is the 'Rubbish Question' from episode 61 of Talking Rubbish, which first aired on 25th September 2025.
