DIMINUZIONE DEI RIFIUTI: la plastica

Where does the plastic?

Saturday morning I was meeting with the ASM city, the municipal company in charge of urban. I am not here to summarize what has been said, but do some observations that seem important on the Reduction of waste.

PLASTIC: although the packaging is disproportionate and, therefore, measures are needed at national level which would require the various companies to reduce or dispose of packaging products, something you can do it locally. Any idea ... ..

1. 1. It may require all major distributions (COOP, Carefour etc..) To obtain systems "on tap" for the sale of detergents in general. This would avoid the disposal of plastic that, although we were told that is differentiated well here in L'Aquila, in reality it is highly polluting production, and, moreover, because of its lightness, poses significant problems of transport despite the use compactors. Piedmont has responded with concrete and the first supermarket chains, Coop and Crai to Auchan in 2006 he set up, made by the association Ecologos, the project cleaners self service that region alone has saved more than one hundred thousand bottles . In other words it means not having used 6.11 tons of plastic packaging, and 3.41 tons of cardboard for packaging. The mechanism is simple: the consumer buys the bottle once the price of 50 cents and is supplied with that every time you need it, you paste your proof of purchase and pay the cashier.

2. 2. There could be added to one (or more) so-called "House of Water" for the distribution of controlled public still and sparkling water (an example here HERE ) Regarding the water issue or rather plastic bottles for water, in places of great affluence (hospitals, universities, regional offices) to allocate enough drinking fountains, to see the decrease in consumption of bottled water. The restaurants should be required to obtain the production systems of natural water filtered and carbonated.

3. 3. should require, in time, the Central Dairy to use glass bottles (perhaps returning to the security and subsequent reuse of the bottle without having to go through recycling) and to explore the possibility of using distributors milk on tap that, paradoxically, can be used for fresh milk is not pasteurized and not for what already pasteurized. In some cities the milk distributors are also found in primary schools and kindergartens with 10 cents where you can have a glass of milk controlled and certainly healthy (most of the snacks).

4. 4. should oblige supermarkets to use the old paper bags for the sale of fruit and vegetables, by banning plastic trays and polystyrene (which here stands out even in L'Aquila).

5. 5. Many things can we do as consumers, trying to reuse all the plastic can. For example, I get nervous a lot when I buy a pound of cold cuts, can you wrap it and then I put them inside a plastic bag. To my representations, I am told that he is required by law (bah!!), Then I, when I remember the bags behind me port. When I buy fruit, I do different samples and then put everything in one package, in cash claim a bit ', but I can "pass" the same. Never buy pre-sliced \u200b\u200bin the pan, the cheese on polystyrene, mozzarella cheese in bowl and so on.

I can not think of anything but short, much can be done to try to reduce pollution di questo mondo che sembra divenuto “di plastica”.

P.S. Ricordo che i piatti di plastica, così come i bicchieri e le posate non sono differenziabili perché, almeno in Italia, non essendo considerati imballaggi, non godono delle agevolazioni da parte del Conai (il Consorzio Italiano per il riciclo degli imballaggi), quindi, non li usate!
