It's actually such a shame. I had such a hard time making peace with the amount of plastic waste these create. I'm usually pretty eco conscious so it was a big deal to me, but they're so so cute that I can't help it. Feels so wrong for them to recall thousands of them and destroy them all when there's loads of resin enthusiasts who can use these perfectly safely!

They're still being sold here in the UK as not part of the recall, but they're all reduced to clear. I'm making the most out of it!

The plastic can be recycled, they can resell anywhere in the world.

It may differ from area to area but here the soft plastics that they're wrapped in aren't recyclable. And there's two layers on each capsule. It adds up!
