Ecoembes, a non-profit environmental organization that promotes sustainability through the recycling of packaging in Spain, has launched the Recycle and Breath campaign with the aim of sensitizing neighbors about the environmental benefits of recycling containers: cans , Plastic, briks, etc.
To reward the ecological spirit of our Region, three economic incentives will be awarded, totaling 15,000 euros in three categories: a first prize of 6,000 euros for the municipality that recycles more containers in 2017 and two other prizes of 5,000 and 4,000 euros for Those that increase their net contribution of containers to the yellow container.
The registration will be counted in March 2018, taking into account the kilos / inhabitant minus the percentage of containers deposited incorrectly.
The winning municipalities will communicate in April 2018, and the amount delivered to the municipality may be allocated to a social work project or the infrastructure of a children's playground.
"For every 6 cans you recycle counters 10 minutes of exhaust pipe"
Recicla y Respira wants to publicize the environmental benefits of packaging recycling among the Spanish population, because thanks to the separation of these residues we can counteract pollution, a serious problem worldwide.
For example, 6 cans or 6 recycled plastic bottles in the yellow container are equivalent to 10-minute contamination from a car exhaust pipe (https://www.ecoembes.com/projects-designed/recycling-and-respira) .
What are the residues and materials that must be deposited in the yellow container?
Drink cans and preserves, metal lids, aerosols, brik containers, whether for juice, milk, broth sauces, wines, etc., plastic water bottles, yogurt containers, cork trays, plastic bags, plastic…
However, boxes of cookies, cereal, shoes, cartons, cardboard egg cartons, paper bags, newspapers, books, magazines, cardboard trays, paper wrappings, etc. should be deposited in the blue container.
