Packaging Recycling Guidance
At GBC we work to reduce the packaging we use as far as possible and to make what packaging we have as recyclable as possible.
It is easy to recycle packaging when it is made of single material types and you can easily put different materials in the correct recycling bins.
We have therefore marked our packaging materials with the standard material type icons and below you can see how these different material types can be recycled.
