If dirty/mixed

Fruit nets from oranges, onions and similar produce can be sorted as plastic if they are empty, clean and clearly made of plastic. If the net is dirty, has metal clips, cardboard labels or mixed materials, sort it as residual waste. Remove separate cardboard or metal parts where easy.
