Recycling is not practiced only indoors. Do it outside too!

Recycling is something very important that we should all take into account in our daily life, but it is not something that we only have to do at home but also outside. Did you know that on average we produce about 450 kilos of waste each year?

Many of the products that we consume throughout the year, can be recycled and although there is already a lot of awareness about the importance of recycling at home, not everyone takes into account that it can also be recycled outside of it.

Recycling away from home is very important

It is very easy to throw a plastic bottle in a trash can or any trash can, but in any city we can find waste containers to classify them according to their characteristics. It is not hard to go with the bottle to one of these places and deposit the bottle in them, for example.

A large volume of waste is generated in the study centers as well as in the workplaces or in the leisure areas. The frantic pace of consumption that we have, causes that in a sporting event so many waste is generated in two hours as in an average home during a whole year. This allows us to get an idea of the millions of tons that are generated daily.

The mentality of recycling is increasingly present, but at home. Now you have to get used little by little to do the same when we are away from home. There are many benefits that are achieved if we all put our grain of sand and all waste recycle outside our home.

In Spain we have recycled some 20 million tons of waste during 2018 and that number is expected to increase considerably. Plastics, packaging, glass paper, etc., are the products that have more prominence and that must be recycled primarily.
