About Recycle and sort your waste correctly

Many people are not separating and recycling correctly. Even though much of the plastic is being burned and called "recycling" it makes a difference. Always separate the different materials from each other. For example remove the paper and the aluminum lid from the plastic yoghurt cup (even if they go into the same bin) and sort your waste into the correct bins. This makes it easier for the machines in the recycling facilities to identify and sort the waste correctly and therefore increases recycling rates and material recovery. Check local recycling guidelines to learn how your bins work. | ShareWaste, WALL-E, WALL-E, The Circularity Gap Report 2023, Vandelez, Manduka, Replants, Living Christmas Tree, Changing Tides
