Plastic disposal and recycling is a daily challenge to reduce waste in the environment and optimize resources.
The problem of pollution caused by plastic is very complex and multifaceted.
On the one hand, plastic is an extremely useful material for everyday life, precisely because more than any other it ensures the protection and preservation of the product it contains.
But on the other hand, if not properly managed and collected, it creates quite a few problems for our ecosystem.
In fact, plastic is becoming the image of the “great enemy” of the environment, and the general trend is to always emphasize its negative aspects and much less its positive ones. In reality, if used and disposed of properly, it can be a great resource, because it allows us to generate new products without the need to produce virgin plastic.
Among innovative products, we can mention the Bantam: “Steba introduces a new recycled plastic.”
In order to recognize plastic as a resource, it is important to “educate” all generations, starting with the youngest ones, about its proper use and disposal. Only in this way will we be able to create the basic condition for giving this material a second life.
And with a culture of recycling, multiple benefits can be achieved:
- Reduction of waste in the environment
- Reduction of human hazards from microplastics
- decrease in waste
- creation of new products
- optimization of available resources
The proper disposal of plastic
As we have already mentioned, it is most important to better manage the disposal of virgin plastic to enable its recycling and protect the environment and humans. First, it is good to know that packaging makes up about 50 percent of the plastic contained in municipal waste. But fortunately, almost all of these containers can be recycled. Consistent recycling of plastics is only possible if they can be recovered in the appropriate containers and not left scattered in the environment. The rules of recycling collection allow waste to be separated and sorted so that the materials collected can be reused to make new items. It is the small daily gestures carried out by each of us that enable us to cooperate and participate in protecting the environment.
At Steba, we care deeply about raising consumerawareness of proper plastic use and disposal.
But our social commitment does not end there. In fact, we offer sustainable solutions, such as recycled plastic packaging.
We deploy creativity and products that follow market trends, which enable us and will enable you to be environmentally friendly.
To enable you to learn more about the green alternatives we offer, we thought we would write an in-depth article “Recycled plastic containers flank virgin plastic offerings”
