Does it make sense to sort the trash

  • Dec 24, 2019

In Moscow, all set separate containers for recyclable waste - plastic, glass, paper, metal. But is it worth messing around and separate the waste or is it then gets on a landfill? I know the answer.


As soon began to put bins for separate waste collection, immediately there were rumors that everything is fiction and still all the garbage thrown into the same landfill.

Enthusiasts have conducted an experiment, throwing in different containers, plastic bottles of detergent with a GPS-beacons. One bottle that was thrown into the container for recyclable waste, for two weeks reached the village Przemysl Kaluga region, where the plant DPL polymer is engaged in processing plastic waste.


Here's a video with the experiment.

Surprisingly, the separate processing of waste, at least in Moscow, really works.

Of course it is very difficult to force myself to not only sort garbage, but instead a convenient garbage, which can be reached in slippers, wearing a separate package in the trash, and disposed of in a separate container, but I think I will try, once all this is not nothing.
