According to several studies, most people only recycle from the kitchen.

Iain Gulland, chief executive of Zero Waste Scotland, said: “Recycling is becoming habitual behaviour in Scottish households, which is hugely important for us to reach the target of recycling 70 per cent of our waste by 2020.

“However, even regular recyclers can do a bit more, and our call to action this Recycle Week is to extend the focus out beyond the kitchen, where products tend to be very well labelled to remind us to recycle them, and think about similar items such as plastic bottles, glass jars and cardboard that come from elsewhere in the home.

“We’re often just not in the habit of popping these in the recycling, so Recycle Week is a great time to start.” Recycle week runs from June 22 to June 28.
