The head of the UK Recycling Association has named the worst product to recycle.

Simon Ellin told 5 live Breakfast: 鈥淚t鈥檚 the Pringle tube. We have five different materials just to house a crisp.鈥�

鈥淚t goes into a pulper and you pull off the paper fibre but the plastic lid, the foil, the metallic lining and the metal base all get lost in the system and that鈥檚 a resource that just gets lost for good, all down to bad design.鈥�

Kelloggs, the owners of Pringles, have said "All parts of a Pringles can act as a barrier to keep the chips fresh. That means a longer shelf life, which minimises food waste."
