I’d like to know what some items are made of – what kind of plastic, and whether it can be recycled. Food and medicine packaging are everywhere every day, and much of it goes in the trash because I can’t identify it. Location:Lisle, Illinois, United States

It’s too early for bears but they’ll be out soon enough! Cheesecloth (actually for cheesemaking!) seems to only be sold in plastic packaging.

Plastic Challenge: Mary Katherine, Week 14
