A reminder that containers (single use or otherwise) made from compound or hybrid materials are not easily recyclable and not accepted in council recycling.
THINK BEFORE YOU USE.

A single-use plastic and metal drinking vessel dubbed a “franken-can” has been given the dubious honour of being hailed as Australia’s worst plastic packaging.

The plastic-metal hybrid can, which is not accepted by container refund schemes or easily recycled – has won the inaugural Unpackit award.

The Unpackit awards have been established by the Australian Marine Conservation Society, Plastic Free Foundation and WWF-Australia to highlight the volume of plastic packaging used by Australians each year – an estimated 1.3m tonnes.
