I do love Sushi and Sashimi and when ordering I always say... no Soy Fish or Wasabi thanks... but in packaged dishes there they are...
Soy Sauce lasts for years, this old bottle has a 2023 expiry.

I had to look up to see if these little plastic fish are recyclable ... and they are!!  Yay!

4. Take note of the little things

Those cute fish-shaped soy sauce containers have a habit of hanging around. Can they be recycled? Yes, but this comes with a caveat. Even if properly disposed of, small items like sushi fish can be lost at the recycling plant.

This is because the machinery used to sort recyclables has size limits. Only items as large as a business card will go through. Anything smaller ends up in the landfill pile.

What to do:

• Good – put them inside a bigger plastic container, like a bottle or tub. Keep them contained within something else of the same material. This goes for other small things, such as metal lids. Put them in an old tin can and squeeze the can shut so the lids don’t fall out. Remember: like goes with like when it comes to combining materials.
• Better – keep a bottle of soy sauce at home and at your desk, so when you get take away sushi, you don’t need to resort to the fish containers. Also, ask your favourite sushi place to not automatically give away soy fish containers.
