But for once, they’re a perfect combo.
A company I work with, Enval Ltd., has signed up to collect all the energy gel pouches and wrappers from the upcoming Tour of Britain.
They’ll then recycle them.
Not by burning them.
Not by turning them into ‘plastic wood’, a low-quality recycled product.
But by using their nifty patented process to turn them back into virgin-equivalent pyrolysis oil and aluminium.
Into raw materials that can be made into entirely new products.
Even food-grade, a high standard to reach.
If you’re going to watch any of the stages, do us all a favour.
Help collect as much flexible plastic waste as possible.

It’ll be going to a better place.
Not landfill.
