I've checked <a href="http://www.woking.gov.uk/environment/wasterecycle/recycling/directory?letter=p" rel="nofollow">Woking council's page on recycling plastic</a> and it's only bottles that they do. I wonder if those bulky plastic ends could be replaced by card? Obviously, it's unlikely that the nozzle and bag could be made out of recyclable material. You’re quite right.

Not only is there a lack of recyclable materials in the freshcase (NB. the plastic ends are NOT widely recycled in doorstep collections - please ignore the recycle triangles on plastic items, they are an industry mark rather than consumer mark [see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin_identification_code]), but they are difficult to deal with.I'm really disappointed by the system, especially as magnums of wine are becoming increasingly available, and the glass bottles used are 99.x% recyclable, as opposed to a few percent (as previously raised here: http://shkspr.mobi/blog/index.php/2009/11/boxes-of-wine/). Second rant over... Thanks Terence for this video..
