      Great question, and not one I’ve really thought about! I normally just fire my recycling into the recycling bin and hope that the recycling company knows what they’re doing!

      I just recycling a lot, didn’t I know? It’s a weird looking word. Recycling. Hmm.

      Very interesting question! I think one of the easiest ways we could make recycling easier is to cut down on the amount of packaging that we use. There’s so much packaging, particularly plastic packaging that’s just unnecessary (think of when you buy a multipack of something: you’ve got the outer wrapping and then at least one layer of inner wrapping, it all adds up), so I think that making sure everything is packaged in the absolute minimum required, and switching to more biodegradable materials would make recycling a lot easier, and just cut down on household waste in general!
