to read and think a little '...

Did you know ...


every Italian citizen produces an average of 470 pounds of waste year, equivalent to 1.3 kilograms per day ?!

Every tonne of paper collected separately and then started to recycling system saves:

- 14 tall trees
- from 280 to 400 tons of water
- 200/300 kg of oil equivalent

Each ton of recycled glass saves:

- 700 kg of sand
- soda
150 kg - 150 kg dolomite

Every 40 aluminum cans recycled (about 1 kg aluminum) allow a saving of:

- 4 g of bauxite (mineral from which aluminum is derived and which by the way is increasingly rare)
- 4.8 kg of oil equivalent

The production of steel using scrap iron instead of the mineral, allows a reduction of:

- 65% of electricity
- 40% water
- 86% of air pollution
- 76% of water pollution

waste production is a major problem throughout the world. recycling and reuse are ways to help reduce the problem.
