Currently, most of the waste generated are destined disposal in landfills, dumps or landfills authorized illegal. However, options for reducing the volume of garbage coming into these destinations are varied. From avoiding the purchase of disposable packaging products, to compost food scraps, which account for 50% of our waste generation and recycling and energy recovery. "

Save on everyday objects Reusable CREATED WITH (I). EXPO

past week was held in Santiago de Chile a new version of Recycle Expo. This was marked by the appearance, especially large companies involved in the care of the environment through recycling of materials mostly collected in large quantities.

Although we found very few recycling companies connected to the waste in an ordinary person, we found some data that we will announce them later. Anyway we came across a group of people dedicated to the design of everyday items with different recycled materials that are presented in three parts.

The two toys that you see in the picture above and placed on the left were created mostly with canned drinks and tapas. The right picture however, shows a lamp that reuses the plastic mesh fruit found in any supermarket.
