The abbreviation PMD stands for empty Plastic packaging, Metal packaging and Drinking cartons. From your empty shampoo bottle to the plastic bag around your vegetables and from empty bags of chips to empty cartons of dairy and fruit juices: all of this can go in the PMD container. Almost all packaging from the supermarket not made of cardboard or glass belongs to the PMD container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recycling is only possible if the PMD is properly separated. And sometimes it is quite difficult to know whether something belongs in the PMD container or not. Do you want a visual reminder for your home? Then make a printout of this handy PMD flyer (only in Dutch)<\/a>. Are you in doubt? Check the waste separation guide (only in Dutch)<\/a> or throw it in with the residual waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tip: empty your packaging as much as possible before throwing it away. Just down to the last drop. Half-full packaging ensures that processing goes wrong (source: Milieu Centraal) <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Tip: Aerosols of whipped cream and deodorant are not allowed in the bag or container for PMD because of the propellants that may still be in them. Throw away those aerosol cans residual waste<\/a> (source: Milieu Centraal)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The packaging is sorted at our final processor and converted into raw materials that we can use for new packaging. The more packaging material that ends up in this container, the better! <\/p>\n\n\n\nPlastic packaging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
