Recycling is the biggest daily action that ordinary citizens can carry out to contribute to the saving natural resources. Basically, it consists of providing a new life to things that no longer serve us, in this way, achieving a more sustainable planet.
The soda cans are used to make new ones, while the cardboard recovered from the tetrabrik containers gives rise to furniture and other household items from Tectán, which contribute to avoid cutting down trees.
With the paper and cardboard that we throw in the corresponding container, for example, new newspapers are manufactured, while organic waste, such as the skins of the vegetables, are used to obtain a rich material that provides nutrients to plants, called compost.
The glass containers that we deposit in the green recycling container are washed and reused or melted to make tableware, bricks, ceramics, asphalt and many other materials.
Unfortunately, most of the garbage It is deposited in places called landfills, which are filled with mud to prevent leaks that contaminate the surrounding water supplies, although they are still dangerous for the environment and, in addition, with the current rate of garbage production Soon there will be no more places to put landfills. For this reason, it is important to recycle more.
