Waste discarded in the wrong place pollutes the land, water and air. Sorting, however, turns it into a valuable resource that saves both energy and money.
If saving energy, slowing climate change and reducing landfill waste do not seem like enough proof of the benefits of sorting, imagine walking along a beach without finding a single piece of litter. Wonderful, isn't it?
Waste from different recycling containers is all tipped into the same place.
Two types of refuse collection vehicle are used to empty the bell-shaped recycling containers, which come in three colours. Vehicles collecting the blue and yellow containers have two separate compartments, so the packaging does not get mixed. Separate vehicles dedicated solely to glass empty the green containers.
Only washed packaging can be sorted and recycled.
As technology advances, sorting is becoming easier: packaging no longer needs to be rinsed or washed, and labels do not need to be removed. There is just one rule: packaging must not contain liquids that could leak and contaminate clean packaging in the container.
Products made from different materials cannot be recycled.
Recycling technology is smart, so packaging made from several different materials can be recycled with ease. Put glass in the green container, paper in the blue one and all remaining packaging in the yellow container.
Recycling one aluminium can saves enough energy to watch television for 2 hours.
Recycling one glass bottle saves enough energy to light a room for 4 hours.
Recycling five PET bottles produces enough fibre to fill a ski jacket.
Recycling one tonne of paper saves enough energy to heat an average-sized home for 6 consecutive months.
