Profitable business
"Products that are commonly used plastics, which can be recycled, so it is essential that a separate collection, then the cleaner arrives at the separation plant, the better you can recycle. For its part, the glass - one of the most popular materials to make packaging, it is also easy to recycle. Experts say that to melt the glass into shape again, keeps all its properties thus saving 93% of materials and energy by 23% compared to manufacture from new raw materials, "reads on the blog "Trash: Is it as bad as it?, highlighting the importance recycling has. According
Aurelio says the products that they (the "collectors") sold the deposits are resold to companies focused on processing these inputs and turn them into useful products, even the "twice the price."
The label on the plastic bottles and soft drinks is, by its English acronym PET registration, which is short for polyethylene terephthalate, the material that is made from plastic bottles, next to it is the symbol recycling world.

Are passed through metal rollers and leaves and will end when they enter the drying process on plates which evaporate the water remaining in the statement. After this process, you are given the same use they had. In this case, it is the saying "paper and paper you'll become."
In the same way, exploit the resources of metal. Melt and produce building materials.
A 1997 report by the National Statistics Institute (INEI) indicates that only in Lima, was generated one million 267 thousand 679 tonnes of waste per month. All of this amount is not treated, so far, and goes to landfills, is exposed to air or is burned. This becomes, with pollution generated by the vehicle fleet, the type of infection the environment is more dangerous than Lima, according to opinions of scientists and scholars in the field.
At that time, Lima was the population was seven million 060 thousand 599 people. Now in 2008, which surpassed the eight million inhabitants, this number has increased considerably and the authorities, but two, no plans or strategies designed to give adequate treatment to the "Junk."

"With this initiative, they managed to decrease the volume and negative impact of waste, while creating the habit of separation and a new awareness about the problem caused by poor waste disposal, also be located on the blog.
Another district that also processes the waste it generates, Villa el Salvador is undoubtedly one of the most vibrant sectors of the capital. There, he developed since 2004 a recycling program in which more than 700 thousand families who separate their waste.
Villa El Salvador is the second district after the Groove, which has environmental practices of selective collection of solid waste, showing that even though a percentage of its population lives in extreme poverty, is committed to caring for their environment .
In these times, where the prevailing environmental pollution and global warming threatens to devastate the world, recycling is increasingly so strong as a good option for conservation and environmental preservation. Also grants generous profits that should not be missed.
