Pringles

Paper & Cardboards
General Waste

What?

This brand of crisps and similar.

Where?

The plastic lid can be placed in the recycle bin but the tube and seal should go in the general waste bin.

In September 2024 the Pringles® brand introduced a paper based tube and once it is clean dry and loose can now be placed in the recycling bin.

Why?

Tubes that are made up of layers of different materials; paper, plastic and metal cannot be easily separated.

The Pringles® tube is now paper based and is recyclable.

General Comment / Tip

If paper or card become wet or dirty on its way to the sorting facility it may not be recycled.
