In addition, rigid PVC containers (code 3 plastics) are recovered by <strong>Council</strong>.The DEC’s good practice measures also indicate that <strong>Council</strong>s should explore <strong>the</strong> merits ofexpanding <strong>the</strong> range of plastics collected at kerbside when <strong>the</strong>ir contracts next come up forrenewal. For those plastics that have not been recycled <strong>to</strong> any great extent <strong>to</strong> date (LDPE,PS, UPS and o<strong>the</strong>r plastics codes 4 – 7), reprocessing infrastructure and markets are becomingincreasingly available. Table 3.8 lists <strong>the</strong> types of plastics potentially available for recyclingas well as common applications.<strong>Liverpool</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Council</strong>16Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery <strong>Strategy</strong>
