Tarmac’s Blue Circle cement bags are recyclable. Look for the corresponding marking on the bag. The home/DIY user can put the empty bag directly in their bin as domestic waste if the local authority or council does not collect this type of plastic separately. For construction site users, you may have the option to wash the residual cement from the bag, the bag can be recycled just like any other polyethylene bag. However, it is not advised to wash cement slurry down the drain. Another option is to add a small amount of water and allow any residual content to solidify. The solid material can be disposed as inert concrete waste and the plastic recycled.
