Iirc 6mths is max storage time for Adblue especially once container has been opened, why I have no idea, maybe starts to crystalise?

depends how you store it - but we consume loads the disco and range rover takes about 10-15l a top up

Absolutely - no politician has the balls to state this. We need to limit human population at current levels, and reduce it by a large percentage over the next few generations.

Plastic recycling? Sounds easy BUT is much more difficult in practise.

The simplistic mantra is reduce, reuse, recycle and in that order.

China used to be a major importer of waste plastic items for recycling but have greatly reduced the amount they are importing.

Countries such as the Philippines and Malaysia are getting tougher on the imported 'plastics for recycling' which actually turns out to be dirty plastic based household waste. Their courts are now beginning to instruct that the waste is to be sent back to the country of origin.


Now think about the amount of single use plastic containers in a house, be it shampoo, washing up liquid etc. Doubling the container size does not double plastic used in the container. Then why not be able to get thin walled sachets to refill the thick wall rigid containers?

How easy is it to actually recycle rigid walled spray containers. Apart from two or more plastics use often of different colours and often containing a metal spring in the spray mechanism. So it is not an easy job just to recycle them. We need to be able to reuse these plastic containers as much as possible.

Instead of supermarkets offering 50 million types of shampoo/bodywash etc how about 4/5 versions with big barrels and just refill the plastic rigid wall containers?

Yes we all need to rethink different ways of using plastics and care in recycling them.


Ooops sorry for the rant.
