Report container park and sorting in Belgium

Here ? Do you drink completely skimmed milk? He still has taste?

Otherwise nice sorting plastics ...

what really bothers me is the ban on recovering from dumpsters, planks, rafters, tubes or flat iron, bikes almost intact ... While it is still "recycling " ultimate !

Hello

I have been supplying a large part of it to recycling centers for a very long time. I can tell you that, given the salaries of the employees, a pack of beer or € 5 is a miracle. If you pass regularly you drop your list and the week after it's ready to be loaded

Uh how can you say that? Most of the time it is organic 1/2 skimmed (in plastic bottles ... pfff I know but there is no "choice") it seems to me ... with some exceptions ...

Otherwise nice sorting plastics ...

Yeah amazing even

The color of the caps ...
Normally it is codified:
- whole red
- semi-skimmed blue
- skim green

Finally in France it works like that, at least in the stores where I go ...

Yes, but it's organic milk, so maybe they put a green cap on it to make it more "natural".

It is curious, why the bottles of milk are not crushed when apparently the bottles of water and sodas are?

In fact, our quantity of sorted waste corresponds roughly to 2 months for 2 people (and 1 kitten and 2 rabbits).

By laziness ... and especially because PUE engraves fermented milk ... but in fact the bottles of milk in HDPE (bcp + flexible) regain their bcp form more easily than the bottles of sodas in PET ... to crush them it is therefore necessary to replace the cap during the crushing ... which is not very practical ...

paper and cardboard recycling

ps: you do not sort your waste in Brussels ??

Uh ... it's 1/2 skimmed but anyway the uht never really tastes very good.

In fact the regulations are very strict in France but here there is no code. Anyway, we always stay in white / blue / green because it evokes purity etc - marketing requires. Otherwise, for the plastic of milk bottles, it is recyclable HDPE up to 7 times in the form of a bottle and then recycled in less specific plastics. Better than bricks that need to undergo more specific operations.

Better than bricks that need to undergo more specific operations.

It must be said that the bricks (tetrapak not to mention a brand), at the recycling level, it is difficult to do worse: a sandwich of 3 layers of 3 different materials that must be separated and then recycled separately.
From outside to inside:

• a layer of paper (generally finished so that it is even more boring to recycle),
• a layer of aluminum,
• a layer of plastic

Who says better ?
