College students "La Milagrosa" Totana participated today at a briefing in which municipal officers of the Department of Environment released the application of the recycling process "Ecoembes" and the correct use of clean points.
At the event, the appointment occurred about 60 schoolchildren First of ESO, was also attended by councilors of Environment and Solid Waste Agustin Gonzalo Martinez and Antonia Camacho, respectively.
The students watched a video about the process of recycling at source until its arrival at the recycling plants;
and they were transferred to the municipal technical questions regarding the process.
To this end, it explained that starts a process that began in losciudadanosdepositando contenedoresamarillos packaging (plastic containers, cans and cartons) yazules (packaging paper and cardboard) that losayuntamientosponen available to neighbors.
Subsequently, they are responsible for picking and transporting them to recycling lasplantas;
where finally the containers are recycled and become nuevamateria primacon which fabricannuevos products.
Once the products have been consumed, the package fails to fulfill the function for which it was created and becomes enresiduo;
and it is in that moment when you have to recover so that it can be recycled and contribute to environmental elcuidado.
To make the collection of packaging waste generated in homes, technicians may have explained that "Ecoembes" collaborates with local lasadministraciones and autonómicaspara that more than 46 million Spanish daily to recycle waste and thus collaborate with the environment ambient.
Overall in Spain are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year 553115 yellow and blue containers to enable citizens to deposit their packages.
And municipalities are responsible for picking them up and take them lasplantas of seleccióndonde are pre-sorted and then recycled.
To recycle the containers that usually consume, we must first separate them into the appropriate container according to the material they are made.
Thus, plastic containers, cans and cartons go to the yellow container and packaging paper and cardboard blue.
Once we have placed in the appropriate container, packaging paper and cardboard go directly to collectors and recyclers.
In them, following a classification based on the qualities, become subsequently recycled to become new material for paper and cardboard.
However, in elcontenedor amarillonos we find three groups of very distintoslos packaging plastic containers, metal cans and cartons, and before sending them to your respectivosrecicladores, are separated into lasplantas packaging sorting.
There are 95 plantasde selection scattered throughout the Spanish geography, where packing light is separated into at least three fractions: metals (steel and aluminum), plastic (PET, HDPE, Film and Plastic Mixture) and cartons.
An example is the PET plastic water bottle;
metal we can highlight a tin can and Plastic Mix a bag of chips.
Each fraction goes to his correspondientereciclador, which is responsible for transforming raw materials inNew.
With this cycle the package is closed, promoting environmental protection, keeping out of landfills, without any utility, with a negative environmental impact and giving them a new life.
