Can Primo bottles be recycled?

Primo bottles are made from PET, which is widely collected from kerbside recycling bins and local council recycling facilities. Rinse out your empty bottles before placing them into the recycling bin as this reduces contamination and helps with processing at the recycling centres. It’s also a good idea to check your local council website to see if you should put the bottle top back on or keep it off, as each council has different rules.

Any removed sleeves are not widely recovered for recycling but may be placed in the “Soft Plastics” re-cycling points seen at some major grocery stores. Alternatively, they can go for recycling along with the bottle and cap.
