Is Transformers packaging recyclable or environmentally friendly?
If you live in an area that has a recycling scheme, confirm these details with your local council. Generally, if you have recycling bins that are collected by your local council, it will accept cardboard but will only accept plastic if it is marked with one of the Recycling symbols (a number in a triangle). This means, you can recycle the backing card, boxes and inserts, as long as you remove all plastic glued to it. All other bits – wires, bands, booklets, plastic bag – are trash, and are not recyclable. The more recent carded Transformers have a heap of plastic around the toy, making them very unfriendly to the environment if they continue to not have the Recycling logo on it.
