We accomplish a lot when we separate different items at home and then transfer them to the proper bins.

Recycling conserves resources, energy, and water while lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, it creates a new industrial structure and jobs.

There is little question that the advantages of recycling our waste outweigh the straightforward, regular activity required.

By recycling, you turn discarded goods and materials into wholly new ones, increase their useful lives, and support the preservation of the planet's natural resources.

In 2023, thanks to the recycling of more than 1.6 million tons of packaging, the consumption of 15.53 million m3 of water and 9.84 million Mhw of energy were saved, in addition to avoiding the emission of 1.69 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.

We at Ecoembes are conscious of how waste affects the environment and the natural world. Therefore, in collaboration with a number of businesses, we are searching for novel ways to reduce the "over-packing" of goods and increase the sustainability of packaging.

Like the novel bio-based plastic material created by TheCircularLab, the circular economy innovation hub of Ecoembes. This bio-based material is compostable, recyclable, and biodegradable since it is made from vegetable waste, such as potato peelings and other vegetable waste.

This kind of packaging, which is composed entirely of organic material, can be used as an alternative to treat organic waste, assisting in its recycling and lowering food waste.

And why do we still focus on packaging? Find out more about its position in society.

We are able to recycle packaging, so it can have a second life because of the little things we do at home every day, such as appropriately separating it.

Do you still have any idea of how much recycling can help you? Here, we present statistics and equivalences that will surprise you.
