ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Coleta seletiva do jeito certo

Certos materiais, como embalagens de salgadinho, frascos de esmalte e potes de margarina, não devem ir para a coleta seletiva, mas também não precisam acabar no aterro. Há empresas que recebem esses materiais que exigem cuidados ou processos especiais. Um exemplo é a TerraCycle, que estimula a formação de "brigadas de coleta” e cria, a partir de diferentes resíduos, produtos, como bolsas, guarda-chuvas, jogos americanos, porta-lápis etc.
