elephant you resume almost point by point what has been said above (even the boxes given in the hard dicounts) :)

We agree on the limits (organizational and ecological) of this law but it would still be "preferable" for some supermarkets to apply it ... at least for what it gives ... (if people l 'use or not ...)

Speaking of hard discount, I saw a Colruyt in France!

For the French: Colruyt these are (almost) hard discount in much larger (a large shed actually) with branded products and prices on a lot of products ... but it is still more expensive than the hard discount ...

Yes that's exactly what I thought: it requires a new sort ... long live the crappy and highly subsidized jobs ...

Frankly, it would cost what to sort the particular with several bags by type of waste? I do not understand why the little boxes are with this ... and not with the big ones or the paper?

There are limits to practice:

in Charleroi, as in any case, the selective collection is a cardboard paper truck, they have put only mixed containers to the container.

If there was a bag for the bottles, one for the metal, one for the juice / milk cartons, it would slow the collection. I think that treadmill sorting should be quite effective.

While the job of sorting is not exciting and poorly paid, but for some, it may be better than no job at all, right?

Sorting is very mechanized, do not believe that it's so many jobs. Others are useless, like bottles by color, as it is to make glass wool as it appears.

For my waste, I inquired.They are transported to 70km from my villages by truck (which makes 3hours of roads, because it is a very sinuous and steep area, 35l / 100km, I do not tell the balance sheet) , to be then cremated ...
In the nearest town, Roanne, it's a gigantic pit used for "storage" of waste ... did you say recycling? : Cheesy:

For the glass wool, the raw materials are sand, limestone and calcined soda, as well as recycled shavings from the production process. Recycled glass from glass, car glass or bottles is increasingly used in the manufacture of glass wool and today represents 30 60% of intermediate raw materials. In some factories, this percentage can even reach 80%.

The glass wool based on virgin cullet is white.

In the horrible kind the town of Frejus still proceeds to landfill.
It's in France, see:

And it has already been worse, there is now a sort upstream.
