Plastic is recyclable and, in Italy, we are above the European average, recycling 57% of the packaging collected, but we can do more.<\/p>\n
The trend is very clear:
\n\u2714 + 21.9% in recycled packaging as compared to the previous year
\n\u2714 + 3.2% in energy recovery from plastic containers in mixed waste collections.
\nExcellent work and, a big thank you to the commitment of Corepla (2018 data), but that alone isn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n
Why aren\u2019t we able to do more?
\n1) Chronic lack of multi-material collection and disposal facilities.
\n2) Errors in recyclable refuse collection (reaching more than 1.2 million tons in 2018).
\n3) Design deficiencies in plastic products as a result of not gauging the impact of such products on the environment throughout their entire life cycle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
