This is just one of the piles of rubbish left on the streets of Cardiff after the Six Nations.
\n<\/strong>
\nDespite the fact that some of this could be made of biodegradable material, it’s all being sent to landfill.
\nTakeaway containers can’t be recycled because they’re either made of polystyrene or covered in food.
\nPackaging company Vegware<\/a> say their biodegradable packaging is an eco-friendly alternative for restaurants and cafes.\u00a0However, Cardiff Council currently doesn’t have the facilities to recycle this kind of packaging.<\/p>\n

\nNatalie Rees, a waste campaigner, said without the right facilities, biodegradable packaging can cause problems.
\n“It’s quite common post-match days to have large quantities of waste in town –\u00a0 you do see it out into the suburbs as well and you do see the aftermath quite quickly,” she said.
\n“It’s not paper and it’s not plastic and so if it goes into either stream it’s a contaminant so it affects the quality of the material. A lot of waste plastic is used to make things like bin bags and agricultural wraps and if you put bioplastics in you can see it in the material”
\nSome businesses in Cardiff are still using biodegradable packaging.
