Episode notes

Are yoghurt pots recyclable? From the days of hard-to-recycle polystyrene to today's PP and PET packaging, we look at how yoghurt pots have become a recycling success story. Plus, a surprisingly heated debate: are Rolo pots actually yoghurt pots, or are they mousse?

This episode of Recycled Content, is the 'Rubbish or Not' from episode 61 of Talking Rubbish, which first aired on 25th September 2025.

While every effort has been made to provide the most accurate information, recycling guidance changes quickly and some advice may become outdated over time. Always check with your local council for the rules that apply to recycling in your area. On the main Talking Rubbish podcast, we include an additions and corrections section where we update anything we may have got wrong.
