Kievans were able to take in items for recycling disposable packaging for the price and a half hryvnia per kilogram
We used to put buying disposable bags. Kilo of potatoes – in a bag, two apples – to another bunch of dill – also in plastic, even a tube of toothpaste in a cardboard box and he strives to put in a bag. And sellers are at the cash register, to emphasize the level of service, carefully packed some items in an additional bag. Then we add the purchase of a large corporate package from the supermarket … In the end, this discreet and easy-to-life detail, a plastic bag is converted into tons of toxic waste. If the count, after a family hike for the products stored in the apartment about 15 unwanted software.
But they are expensive: we are paying with their health by inhaling the air, poisoned by chemicals that are formed during the production of polyethylene. With his burning released dangerous substance benzopyrene, causing cancers. Two-thirds of waste at landfills falls on plastic packaging.

News that in Kiev finally can be taken for recycling disposable kulechki, inspired not only environmentalists and eccentrics, go shopping with canvas bags.
– Now packages will not only be disposed of properly – said “FACTS” chairman of the commercial department of the company “Kievgorvtorresursy” and the head of the public organization “Second Life” Sergei Volkov. – For them it is still possible to gain money – one and a half hryvnia per kilogram. Of course, it is almost a symbolic fee, but it acts as a guarantee that the packets will be sent for processing. By the way, money can not pick up and donate to the installation of ramps for wheelchair users.
– A kilogram of polyethylene kulechkov – is how much?
– If they are densely compacted, it is two standard package from the supermarket. Almost every kitchen has a large bag in which to put all of the shops kulechki. That’s why we named the event “packages Package”. We hope that people will respond and will hand over hundreds of tons of polyethylene, which does not fall on overloaded landfills, and will find a second life after treatment.

– What are the packets take and where they can be taken?
– Bringing can be any plastic bags – clear and colored, without handles, and so-called “T-shirts”. The main requirement – that they were clean, without the tape and loose: paper (as in tetrapaketah), metal, food residues. In the world there are hundreds of polymers, but not all can be recycled, for example from the packaging of cereals.
Points of reception there in Brovary, Boryspil, Vyshgorod and Kiev. This stalls the green, next to which are bright yellow containers for waste sorting. Many people of Kiev for some reason think that the items for recycling only go homeless. In fact, there is nothing wrong in that, in order to pass the processing that can still serve.

– What’s your take in the points?
– More than ten kinds of raw materials: waste paper, glass (other than porcelain), plastic bottles (all colors), containers for vegetable oil packaging, sauces, fruit juices, dairy products, cosmetics, household chemicals, pharmaceutical products, plastic bottles and cans, bottles for coolers, control ring and lid of plastic bottles and plastic crates furniture (without metal) and aluminum cans of beer and sweet water.
– After the packet processing are obtained small round pellets. Which of them do?
– We send them to the production of polyethylene pipes and sewer … packages. Many countries have already abandoned the disposable packets, but the Ukrainians are not ready for this. Therefore our action “Package Package” we want to draw attention to the problem. It would be logical to increase the value of the package, so that people do not use thoughtlessly 200 packages per month. It is important not to shift the problem onto the shoulders of consumers. It may be necessary to introduce an environmental tax for companies that produce goods harmful to the environment. We urge to use multiple packs, and if they had deteriorated, to take them to the recycling. This is something that is available to everyone now.

All members of the European Union in 2018 have pledged to do household pay packets. And in the UK has the world’s first line of Biobags production was launched in 2004, for four years rotting in the water and carbon dioxide. Every second Briton believes that going shopping with paper or cloth bag fashionable. At the same time, many Ukrainians do not even know that the world has long attended to the problem of disposal of plastic waste.
From Kiev Marianne Boyko two years ago I drew attention to the fact that its trash too quickly filled. Looking closely, I realized that the lion’s share of waste – this is plastic bottles, wrappers and bags.
