Most of the food and other things we buy come in packaging. If this packaging isn’t recycled and gets into the ocean, it can harm, and even kill, whales and dolphins. So which materials can we recycle?

Give each group of children two labels – “recyclable” and “not

recyclable”, and ask them to put one at each end of their table.

You need:• Printed labels

• A mixture of

recyclable and

non-recyclable

packaging (or

printed images)

A digital version of this activity is available

for children to complete independently, or

in pairs, using iPads/tablet computers.

The children will need to work together to decide where to place

each item of packaging.

Discuss their results as a class:

Was there anything they disagreed on? Is there anything that can

be recycled if you take it somewhere special, but not in home

recycling? What materials are in the “not recyclable” pile? Why is

there plastic in both piles?

What can be recycled?Notes for teachers

*Some packaging materials can be recycled, but can’t be put into

household recycling bins. For example plastic carrier bags, and anything

else labelled as “Plastic – Film” can be recycled at most large

supermarkets.

Most “non-recyclable” packaging is made from plastic, or contains plastic.

Crisp packets look like foil, but are made from plastic. Coffee cups have a

plastic lining on the inside.

In light of concerns about plastic pollution, some items are now packaged

in biodegradable film, which, although it looks like plastic, is actually a

plant-based material. This can’t be recycled in household recycling, but

can be put into a compost heap or food waste bin.
