The results of the study spread by Ecoembes, the organisation that manages the recovery and the recycling of the containers of plastic, the tins and the briks (yellow container) and the containers of cardboard and paper (blue container) in our country, stand out besides that 88% of the Catalans consider the recycling and the separation of waste an act very or quite important for the care of the environingingment, two points above the average of the Spanish state.

Recycle because it matters us protect our environingingment

Another good data is that the Catalans consider that recycle comport a lot of and marked profits. They are miscellaneous the reasons by which consider that recycle is very important: to protect the environingingment (92%); by the social profit (89%), understood like the reuse of materials or the saving of resources; or by the education of the children (92%).

The brakes to the recycling are not many, neither intense, according to this study. The majority refer to personal questions like the fault of space in his kitchens or of time (20%). Others allude to emotional reasons like the discomfort, the desconocimiento or the fault of help (14%), and others justify in logistical appearances like the lejanía of the containers (16%).

With regard to the use that gives him to the once collected waste, the Catalans have very clear that recycle or transform in other materials. Given the importance that has the environingingment, the majority of the respondents considers the need to follow improving in the informative work and of sensitisation, with seen to a future in that it will need recycle even more.

The report stands out that every time they are more the citizens that know where have to deposit his waste, what contributes to that it descend the number of improper (waste deposited wrongly) in the blue and yellow containers. The most frequent mistakes are to deposit the briks in the blue container or the objects of plastic that are not containers in the yellow container.

According to Antonio Barrón, director of corporate communication and marketing of Ecoembes, “thanks to the contribution of the citizen, Spain has a tax of recycled next to 70%, that is to say, 15 points above the aim fixed by the EU, what situates us in command of Europe and in the line of countries with a big tradition recicladora”.
