A1: We will accept Eco bricks only if the contents are Type 7 (Multi-layered plastic or MLP) per bottle or Type 4 (LDPE plastics) per bottle. We do not accept Eco bricks with LDPE and MLP contents, dirty or contaminated by oil or semi-viscous content.

A2: We accept eco-bricks but with conditions. We highly discourage eco bricking because once recyclers acquire this item, they are very hard to process. If your eco-brick contains a mixture of type 7 (sachets) and type 4 (LDPE) plastics plus the plastics are unclean, then you make the work of processing this plastic more difficult.
