[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”187177″]At Interzero, we promote the proper separation of packaging waste at source, i.e. at the waste generators – distributors and end-users.<\/p>\n
According to the Waste Regulation, the types of packaging waste are classified into the following groups: 15 01 01 – paper and cardboard packaging, 15 01 02 – plastic packaging, 15 01 03 – wooden packaging, 15 01 04 – metal packaging, 15 01 07 – glass packaging, 15 01 10* – packaging containing residues of or contaminated with hazardous substances, 15 01 11 including empty pressure containers.<\/p>\n
The aim of the separate collection system is to ensure that packaging waste does not end up in mixed waste, but is diverted for recovery. Packaging fractions collected separately can be used to produce useful secondary raw materials. All stakeholders need to be aware of the importance of following the environmental targets set out in the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, i.e.:<\/p>\n
1. recovery of packaging waste, including energy recovery, must be ensured for at least 60 % of the total weight of packaging waste;<\/p>\n
2. between at least 55% and no more than 80% of the total weight of packaging waste must be recycled;<\/p>\n
3. for each type of packaging material contained in the total weight of packaging waste, at least the following recycling rates must be ensured: a) 60 per cent of the weight for glass, b) 60 % of the weight of paper and paperboard, c) 50 per cent by weight for metals, (d) 22,5 % by weight for plastics, taking into account only material that is recycled back into plastics, e) 15 per cent by weight for wood.<\/p>\n
And we achieve our goals through continuous awareness-raising. We carry out separate packaging waste collection inspections at companies, advising on the correct separation of packaging fractions so that the most uniform and clean materials are recovered in subsequent recycling processes. As an individual, you can play an active role in reducing the burden on the environment, including by knowing the general waste hierarchy. In addition to proper segregation, preventing packaging waste is an important link to achieving the targets. When shopping, pay attention to the packaging of the product, buy thoughtfully and buy things you need, and only throw away items that cannot be repaired, reused or donated.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image media=”4727″ media_width_percent=”54″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”305990″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”495788″]<\/p>\n
