OUR CONTRIBUTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
WHY WASTE SEPARATION?

Waste separation in private households

Why it is important and how you can simplify it? Sorting waste at home is an essential contribution to environmental protection. By separating waste correctly, valuable raw materials can be recycled, energy saved and the environmental impact reduced. Whether glass, paper, plastic or organic waste – every single step counts when it comes to conserving our resources and reducing the mountains of rubbish.

Why is waste separation so important?

Conserving resources: Many materials such as paper, glass and metals can be recycled. Properly separated, they enter the recycling process and serve as raw materials for new products.
Climate protection: Recycling requires fewer new raw materials, which saves energy and reduces CO₂ emissions.
Less landfill waste: Correctly sorted waste reduces the amount of waste that has to be incinerated or sent to landfill.
Protecting nature: Incorrectly disposed waste, such as plastic, pollutes the environment and endangers animals and ecosystems

How household waste separation works

Waste separation is clearly regulated in most countries. Typical categories are:

Residual waste: Non-recyclable materials such as hygiene articles or vacuum cleaner bags.
Paper: Newspapers, cardboard boxes and other paper products.
Glass: Bottles and jars, sorted by color (green, brown, clear).
Plastic and metal: packaging such as cans, plastic cups or foils.
Organic waste: food scraps, fruit and vegetable peelings, coffee and tea filters.

Tips for successful waste separation

This applies in particular to hazardous waste such as batteries, light bulbs, paints, varnishes, etc., which must not be disposed of with household waste.
Clean waste properly: Rinse yoghurt pots or cans briefly before disposing of them to avoid odours.
Check separation regularly: Make sure that all household members are informed about the rules of waste separation. Also talk with your children about this topic to create awareness.
