Funny, I'd never thought of a crisp packet as a soft plastic.

Until quite recently, our local garden centre was the only place where you could recycle black plastic flower pots, which can't go into the usual plastic recycling. (Apparently they confuse the optical sorting machines, so the council doesn't want them.) I believe there was a national campaign to get a recycling centre (any centre, anywhere) to spend just one day a month on recycling nothing but black pots (so no possibility of confusion), but AFAIK there were no takers. So the nation's landfill sites are filling up with hundreds of millions of black plastic pots that the councils just can't be @rsed to deal with.
Harrumph.
