Blue bags are not there to collect rubbish, Luxembourg's packaging recovery scheme Valorlux has said. From next month, the green dot organisation will introduce stricter controls for those who put the wrong packaging in the blue bag. In Luxembourg, more than half (56.9 per cent) the contents of the blue bags are not good enough to be put in the PMC (plastics, metal and beverage carton) collections and so cannot be recycled. Out of 9,050,000 blue bags that Valorlux distributed free to households last year, only 5,153,000 have been used to collect PMC packaging wisely.
