Provincial Council the joint actions they carry out, together with the data on selective collection of Light Packaging and Paper/Cardboard, which have experienced a significant increase in in recent years, as well as the new website of the educational platform of the Consortium , in which both organizations collaborate.
The president of the RSU Consortium, José Antonio Talavera, participated in the presentation; the regional manager of ECOEMBES, Antonio López, and the manager of the Consortium Oscar Narros.José Antonio Talavera highlighted that “provisional data indicates Industry Email List that there has been significant growth in the recovery of light packaging, of more than 30 percent in 2021, doubling the recovery in the last 5 years. And in 2021 a total of more than 6,500 tons have been recovered, great figures because 5 years ago only 3,100 tons were recovered.”
And he insisted on the importance of selective collection, that is, that each citizen separates at home, and uses the yellow containers more, adding how “in 2021, according to forecasts, almost 5,200 tons have been collected (without Puertollano) through the container yellow, more than 2% compared to the previous year. Our goal is for the yellow container to collect almost one hundred percent of this waste, which is what Europe is asking of us."
Talavera explained that the light packaging materials that are extracted from these yellow containers are: Pet, HDPE (polyethylene containers that have contained detergents, shampoos, etc.), Bricks, Plastic, Steel, aluminum and LDPE (low intensity polyethylene containers such as plastic bags and packaging plastics).
The president of RSU Medio Ambiente also presented the collection data for the blue container, made of paper and cardboard, which continues to increase, exceeding 6,800 tons in 2021, figures above those recorded 5 years ago, of just 6,000 tons. “Of this collection, about 4,100 tons correspond to Paper/Cardboard from the blue containers, while another almost 1,400 tons correspond to door-to-door collection. It is also collected in Official Centers, the one that goes in the garbage bag or Rest Fraction, the one at clean points, etc.
Antonio López indicated that "we have been collaborating with the Consortium in different actions, with the aim of continuing to consolidate recycling in the municipalities that make up this consortium." Among the actions, he highlighted the reinforcement of containerization so that recycling is closer to our homes. "During the last few years, Ecoembes has collaborated with the installation of more than 350 new yellow and blue containers within the consortium."
In addition to the blue and yellow containers, light household plastic, metal, brik, paper and cardboard packaging was collected at other recycling points, through the collection of yellow and blue selective collection bins (in schools and public offices). municipal among others). These are 1,000 units of each fraction.
The head of Ecoembes also referred to the implementation of communication campaigns, an important action to move towards a truly circular society. During the past year, an awareness campaign has been developed in both digital and radio media with its own creativity developed by the consortium.In this last year, Ecoembes, in collaboration with the Consortium, has launched another new project: Smart Waste. This is the first waste technology platform for smart cities. It is a technological data collection tool that expands knowledge about the impact of waste management and allows the improvement of packaging collection, selection and recycling processes.
