THE COLORS OF GARBAGE

THE COLORS OF GARBAGE

To start recycling it is important to know what recycling is and how it should be done?

Recycling is a process whose main purpose is to convert waste or disused products into raw material through physicochemical or mechanical processes. To deal with the depletion of the planet's natural resources.
To have adequate recycling, we must know the correct way to separate garbage and thereby contribute our grain of sand to the care of the Earth.

At NATSPACE we show you the color code system implemented worldwide.

COLORS

BLUE (paper and paperboard): All paper and cardboard should be placed in this container. For example; tetrapack containers, cardboard boxes; egg cups; newspapers; journals; brochures, notebooks, envelopes, paper bags, cardboard, etc.

YELLOW (plastics and cans): PET bottles, all products made with plastics, Styrofoam, screw caps, plastic bags, cleaning bottles, food and beverage cans and aluminum foil are deposited here.
