Mazarrón joins the comprehensive plan of ecovidrio to increase recycling in summer (24/07/2018)

In 2017 Mazarrón recycled nearly 900,000 kilos of glass |

Ecovidrio, the non-profit organization responsible for the recycling of glass containers, launches a comprehensive plan to increase the recycling of this waste in the catering establishments of coastal areas.

In this edition, the municipality of Mazarrón joins the campaign 'Take note, recycle glass' with the aim of increasing the selective collection of glass containers, through the container, compared to the summer of the previous year.

Summer is a fundamental time to increase the recycling of glass containers.

The impact of tourism and the increase in population, as well as the increase in consumption in the hospitality sector, means that around 30% of glass packaging waste is recycled throughout the year.

The collaboration of the hospitality sector is key since it generates almost 50% of waste of single-use glass containers.

Through the initiative 'Take note, recycle glass' Ecovidrio promotes and facilitates the separation of this waste among professionals in the sector, in addition to raising awareness about the importance of recycling to preserve the environment and fight against climate change.

The campaign 'will reach more than 160 catering establishments in Mazarrón.

With the aim of mobilizing professionals in this sector, Ecovidrio will carry out more than 450 information and awareness visits during the summer period.

In addition, the entity will install new containers, and deliver about 100 buckets to facilitate the transport of glass packaging waste.

The establishments adhering to the initiative will compete during the summer and will be able to follow their position in the ranking through the web www.tomanotareciclavidrio.es.

The premises most committed to the recycling of glass containers and that reach higher score, will receive as a prize a master class with Quique Dacosta, recognized chef with three Michelin Stars.

To mobilize citizens, Ecovidrio has decorated containers, with summer motifs.

In addition, the entity will grant municipalities that overcome the challenge of increasing the recycling of glass containers a recognition.
