RECYCLING > POLLUTION

Jordi Pietx i Colom and Esther Garcia, ECOEMBES

INTRODUCTION

Imagine the full manufacturing process of a bottle, right from the start, bearing in mind the acquisition of raw materials. Now think how this process could be reduced if we used recycled materials. The difference is a huge saving of water, energy and, finally, CO2 emissions that do not go into the atmosphere.

OBJECTIVES

Quantify the benefit of recycling tins and plastic bottles on a weekly basis

MATERIALS

  • Yellow bags
  • Weekly sheets for recording the quantity and type of bottles produced on a daily basis
  • Conversion tables of the Unesco and Cidaut studies, in collaboration with Ecoembres

STEPS TO FOLLOW

1.

COLLECT and recycle container waste in the home (tins and plastic bottles)

2.

WRITE DOWN the recycled containers in the conversions table from the Unesco Study and the Cidaut Study.

3.

CALCULATE the overall savings in terms of minutes of emissions from an exhaust pipe
