​

Plastic utensils are typically made of two types of plastics: polypropylene and polystyrene.

​

Why is it not recyclable?

The manufacturers of these plastic cutleries do not often label them, it is a challenge to know if a combination of plastics was used or it was just one type.

​

Most recycling processors do not accept them for recycling.

​

What now?

Use bamboo or metal cutlery.
