What to do with this pack

Why PP5?
This packaging is made of polypropylene (PP), identified by resin code 5. Polypropylene is a recyclable thermoplastic widely used for food containers, microwaveable trays, bottle caps and protective films. Whether it is recovered in practice depends on local collection — which is why this QR points you to the right answer for Germany.
Before you bin it
- Empty the pack of any food or liquid residue.
- Rinse briefly with cold water if it held food — heavy soiling can downgrade an entire bale.
- Leave caps on bottles where local rules say so; remove paper labels only if they peel cleanly.
- Flatten rigid items where possible to save bin space.
