Do you know the “7R” of recycling and sustainability? So you can collaborate with the circular economy

Therefore it is urgent implement another more sustainable systemutilizing resources and giving new life to the waste we produce: circular economy.

Extend the shelf life of products

The circular economy is defined as: an economic and social system whose purpose is the production of goods and services, but also consumption and waste of raw materials, water and energy resources are reduced.

All production processes of goods or services involve an environmental cost. Promotes circular economy to minimize optimization of materials and waste, prolonging their useful life. Like this, escaping the current disposable linear system and another commitment that is more respectful of the environment and based on prevention, reduction, reuse, repair and recycling.

In short, the circular economy allows us to extend the useful life of products and give them a second life.

You can help us achieve a world.

From ecoembellsthey want to tell the public about the importance of circular economy and recycling. For this reason, they launched a highly emotional campaign that evokes the connotations that waste is not waste, but waste. resources that can have new livesand that by recycling them, we are part of a world that never stops spinning. A more circular and sustainable world.

3R to 7R

As we have seen, the traditional linear model encourages the acquisition of new raw materials each time a new product is produced. great environmental impact.

Famous 3R -Reduce, Reuse and Recycle – minimize impact while conserving resources and energy. But why not make products more sustainable through design? Or why don’t we fix it instead of buying a new one?

The circular economy incorporates other concepts into the chain, such as eco-design and repair. expanding the traditional 3R to 7R. Do you know them?

1. to redesign: It consists of designing products by considering the environment, that is, based on the environment. environmental design. In this way, while producing the product, not only the functionality but also Sustainability.
2. To reduce: We consume a lot and very fast. Therefore, to take care of the environment, we must It also reduces the amount of products we consume and the waste we produce.
3. reuse: Your purpose extend the shelf life of products, either by reusing them or giving them new life through crafts or DIY. On the Internet you will find thousands of useful ideas for reusing any product.
4. To change: Often times, when a product breaks, we tend to buy a new one without even considering the option of repairing it. However repair is usually cheaper and always better for the environment. It means savings in raw materials, energy and waste reduction!
5. Refresh: about update all old itemsso that they can return to serve what they were created for.
6. To get better: Consists of collecting materials that have already been used. reintroduce them into the production process.
7. recycle: Recycling of residues that have already been used in production processes to serve as raw materials for other new products. Really, After trying all of the above it should be the last option. Because remember that the best waste is the waste that is not produced!

Each package in its own container

Recycling makes waste become a new raw material, therefore each container in its container:

• It doesn’t matter if the containers are small or dirty
• Always put them in their appropriate containers
• And avoid using bins for waste that has its own container
