Hi Audrey,

Thank you for your recycling enquiry.

Punnets are commonly made from clear plastic, often PET or PETE (plastic no. 1), which is generally recyclable in most kerbside recycling bins. Please make sure to rinse the punnet to remove any food residue before placing it in your recycling bin.

That said, recycling guidelines can vary between local council areas, so if you’re unsure, please check with your local council or use Recycle Mate to confirm the rules for your area.

Thank you for reaching out to Recycle Mate. Feel free to get in touch anytime with more recycling questions.

Thanks Murphy
