21 Feb 2019 --- British bakery brand Hovis is partnering with recycling experts TerraCycle to boost the recycling rates of bread bags of all brand sold in the UK. Although in theory bread bags are recyclable, there are a number of barriers that prevent them from being recycled at a national level, Stephen Clarke of TerraCycle, tells PackagingInsights. Not all local authorities in the UK recycle them, and there is a limited number of collection points and the bag's light weight can be problematic for councils seeking to collect them at scale.
