Recycling answers

Steel came out on top, according to APEAL, the European steel packaging association. Its ranking of the latest European recycling rates for different packaging materials came up with the following league table:

1 Steel 74%
2 Glass 70%
3 Aluminium 67%
4 Cartons 37%
5 Plastic 33%

I suspect PET alone would score far more highly than the average for all plastic.
