Which genius in the Planet Destroying Department at Tiger Brands thought it was a good idea to replace the paper-label with this wraparound plastic abomination?
@CollinsMandy Shrink sleeves- generally not recycling friendly. 🤦🏻♀️
@wendyknowler And super annoying because you have to take the whole damn thing off with great effort in order to get to the peanut butter!
@wendyknowler @CollinsMandy Now days they have moved more towards PE than PVC shrink sleeves and some are even compostable Most can be easily recycled and the ink removed prior and retained via a chemical treatment.
@wendyknowler @CollinsMandy Even if the plastic is recyclable, the ink gums up the machines - requiring more time, electricity & machine maintenance than most other types of plastic 😣
