EcoTechnologies, in partnership with a major pet food manufacturer, has launched a campaign to collect spiders and doy-packs - soft, multi-layer packaging that is difficult to recycle - starting on May 1. Eco-centers in 8 Russian cities will accept such packaging for recycling in May and June 2024.
Pouch (label 90 C/LDPE or 07 other) is made of film and polyethylene and is used as packaging for wet pet food and baby food. Doipack (labelled C/LDPE or 07 other) has several layers, mostly of plastic film, and is used to package liquid products such as sauces.
All collected recyclable materials are sent for recycling: Spiders and Doypacks are rewashed, shredded, melted and added to new products in regional recycling plants.
