>Whatever is in the blue bins, is not recyclable in current economic conditions. // Which is why you have local taxes, to cover such activities. Personally I think we need to reverse the supply chain and require all shops to take back any packaging sold. I'd love to see standardised reusable plastic cartons in supermarkets. And a heavy tax on transportation of mixed water - drink syrup is extremely cheap, we mix it with heavy water, wrap it in plastic and fill lorries with it; that's a massive waste. Anything with lots of water in should be mixed if at all possible at the delivery end. Baby steps, I know.
