A statistic published recently by France’s “Ecopack†group and the Association of Mayors of France shows that currently 80% of wastes from France’s packaging are recycled.
The French “Ecopack†group has almost undertaken the reprocessing of all household waste in France. Eric Gillong, president of the group, explained that waste packaging waste mainly refers to the substances that have been disposed of in domestic household waste and are used to package goods, including Plastic bags, paper cases, glass bottles, etc. According to the joint statistics of the group and the French Association of Mayors, 63% of waste packaging waste in France was reprocessed into primary materials such as cardboard, metal, glass bottles and plastics, and 70% of the waste was converted into oil. Heat and other energy sources.
The so-called garbage recycling process is divided into three steps, first is screening, then recycling, and finally recycling. The "ecological packaging" group is mainly responsible for the latter two steps in France. As for the first step, the group negotiated with the Association of French Mayors and more than 29,000 community agencies in France. They are responsible for sorting and recycling the household garbage thrown by residents.
The "Ecopack" group provides funding and technical equipment assistance, and is responsible for pulling classified waste packaging waste into the processing plant for recycling. It is also responsible for the sale of new materials and energy generated after recycling.
The “Eco Packaging†Group is actually more like an association. It has more than 10,000 member companies participating in environmental protection projects such as garbage reprocessing. These companies are spread all over France. The annual membership fees are used to fund garbage in communities. Recycling work. Facts have proved that garbage recycling is a big industry. It can also avoid white pollution of plastic bags, which greatly improves the environmental conditions. It is expected that the group will recycle 3.6 million tons of waste packaging garbage in 2005.
