Packaging material query.

[Somersetmaker]

Hi there. I received a couple of bottles of 'hazardous' stuff from you recently. They came packaged very well but I now have a box of some stuff that looking like Vermiculite that I don't know what to do with.

Can I use it with my pot-plants, compost it or have you really sent me a box of stuff to go to landfill?

I was wondering about that stuff too Pru. Mine just went into the rubbish bin.

[Somersetmaker]

Still wondering. As Cooksons is promoting 'eco-metals' a logical approach seems to me to have eco-packaging too.
Maybe I'm just naive but at least I'm hopeful!

I try to recycle as much as I can, and have not been happy with the fact that their current design of grip seal poly bags, which I seem to end up with dozens of on every order, are currently emblazened with their company details etc, making their re-use limited.
Am seriously considering taking a load back to them next time I an there.

I entirely agree about the bags. We all have the Cooksons details on the labels so it's a waste of money to make things less useable.

Lose / lose?

No reply then Customer Service???

I just need to know how to dispose of this unknown material responsibly.

So agree on this one - we've also lost the write on strips (which made it easy to identify the contents with big writing) in the process.

I'd also add a plea to stop folding the bags and putting the sticky label over the edge. Removing it almost inevitably destroys the label, which is sometimes the only way of telling different types of wire (for example) apart.

I find it really baffling that Cookson's customer service won't reply to this thread. Not even an anodyne comment . . . for four weeks!!

Last time I ordered some black knife edge abrasive wheels complete with correct label, inside the bag were pink flat edge..how about that :what:

I'm sorry about that, clearly human error on our part, did it get sorted to your satisfaction?
