How to sort properly?
Prevent waste
One citizen of Slovakia is capable of producing more than 446 kg of municipal waste in 1 year. This is an average of 37 kg per month. And this figure is increasing every year. Surveys have shown that up to 92% of the household waste we throw away today as unnecessary could still be reused, recycled or recovered for energy recovery. All we need is to sort them properly or separate them materially.
How can waste be prevented? It is necessary to start with small steps:
- refusing single-use plastic bags when shopping, using textile or durable plastic bags
- preferably using reusable and compostable utensils
- reducing excessive use of packaging
- Considering whether the goods are really necessary, or obtaining them in other ways (e.g. home production, borrowing, sharing)
Adopt one of these habits and move on! Get informed, get interested! Because the best waste is the waste that didn’t happen!
