Today we celebrate Global Recycling Day!
Recycling is at the heart of our cause for a cleaner and more sustainable future. Together we contribute to the effort to reduce resource waste and protect the environment for future generations. By recycling, we give new life to materials and reduce pollution.
Here are some important tips for a proper recycling of products:
Separate materials: Sort materials according to their type, such as plastic, glass, paper, metal, and organic.
Clean materials: Before discarding them in the appropriate recycling bin, make sure they are free of any residues such as food remnants, fats, etc.
Recycle paper correctly: Avoid paper that has been contaminated with inks or other substances and make sure recyclable paper is clean.
Pay attention to plastics: Compact plastic bottles and packaging to save space.
Remove caps: Before recycling, remove caps from bottles and packaging, as these can be recycled separately.
Keep glass separate: Glass should be separated from other materials and should not contain food or liquid residues.
Recycle batteries and electronics: Batteries and electronics should be recycled at specially designated recycling points.
Reuse whenever possible: Prefer reuse of items before discarding them as waste or for recycling.
Stay informed about local regulations: It is important to know local recycling regulations and to follow them.
Share knowledge: Encourage and educate those around you about the importance and practices of proper recycling.
BONUS TIP: Prefer thermos with multiple benefits. They are durable, reusable and can be recycled. At the same time, valuable resources are saved by not using single-use plastics. Whereas with the thermos you can have cold or hot water available for a longer period of time.
Of course you can create your own personal style with an impressive thermos!
