Green peaks: sorting

sorting trash

Green Peaks, our group of Peaksians who invite us to reduce our ecological impact, draws our attention this week to the sorting in the metropolis of Lyon.

Since the 1er January 2020, all types of plastic can go into the sorting bin provided for this purpose. No more wondering whether to wash the plastic or whether this plastic goes in the yellow bin or not. Small aluminum and steel packaging also go in this trash can. This change was made possible by the technical improvement of the Chassieu sorting plant, thanks to a plastics recognition system. (Source Lyon Capitale, January 2020).

These sorting methods have existed in Paris since 2018 and will be extended nationwide by 2022.

Small clarification all the same, it is a good thing that sorting is simplified to prevent certain recyclable waste from ending up in the wrong bin. However, we must not forget to continue to reduce our waste as much as possible.

Recycling more is good, but reducing waste is even better!!?
