WHY DO WE RECYCLE AND HOW?
Year 2024. The Earth's population has already passed the critical threshold of 7,9 billion people; this means an ever-increasing consumption in recent decades, especially in industrialized and developed areas.
Consumption means comfort and a better life for many people, but for the planet it also means drained resources. Many reports from international institutions show that we're at a critical juncture, where if we fail to change the way we consume in order to become sustainable in the long run, we may face severe situations.
We need to recycle! To return to the circuit of production and consumption already used materials and raw materials: paper, plastic but also computers, refrigerators or washing machines from which rare and precious metals can be recovered such as iron, aluminum, copper or other metals rare and precious.
Simply put, by recycling we give the planet a breath of fresh air. Because instead of consuming the resources still available, we consume from what has already been used. Less waste, newly created jobs, more responsible people and a brighter future for our children.
It is important to mention that recycling has a very important role in environmental protection, taking into account the fact that through this process substances are recovered which, if they reach the environment, affect the ozone layer and promote global warming, affect human health, flora and fauna.
For individuals, the method to get rid of WEEE is:
collection containers
