But just because the council won't take your yellow pouches away, it doesn't mean their lifespan needs to end there. Firepot runs a pouch recycling scheme to process these pouches into other products. All you need to do is to opt into the scheme when you place your order with us, and we'll send you a pre-paid envelope to return your empty pouches in. They are then converted into pellets for use in the manufacture of pallets, playground flooring, and furniture.
Can I recycle Firepot yellow pouches?
Our yellow pouches are made up of layers of aluminium film and plastic. They offer a good shelf-life and double up as a handy bowl for your food. But the same elements which make these materials so attractive are also what make them detrimental to the environment - mixed materials can't be thrown into your household recycling.
