Give your packaging a second life.
Winter holidays are a time of joy, presents and colorful emotions. However, this happiness often hides a mountain of packaging waste: gift bags, boxes, ribbons and colored paper. Many people think all this is just junk, but in fact most of these materials can be recycled and reused.
What's happening with holiday wrapping?
After the holidays, a significant amount of packaging materials end up in landfills, where they need decades to decompose. For example:
- Glittered or laminated paper is often sent to landfill, although it can be recycled if sorted properly.
- Plastic bands and articles, due to their structure, can block recycling equipment if not handled properly.
- Cardboard boxes take up a lot of space in landfills, although they can easily be recycled into new paper.
Much of this waste could be valuable raw material for new products. The problem is the lack of awareness among people and the lack of convenient infrastructure for recycling.
How can we make a difference?
Each of us can contribute to nature conservation:
- Sort waste at home. Separate packaging into paper, plastic and other materials.
- Reuse boxes and bags. This is an easy way to reduce waste.
- Recycle your waste. Many companies, such as EcoREP, offers convenient solutions for the collection of packaging materials.
Why is holiday packaging recycling important?
Recycling not only reduces waste, it also helps:
- Saving resources: recycled paper and board reduces the need for deforestation.
- Reducing CO₂ emissions: Producing new materials from recycled materials requires less energy.
- Better environment: Less waste means cleaner air, soil and water.
What does EcoREP have to offer?
We specialize in recycling a wide variety of packaging, including:
- Colored paper and cardboard: we recycle gift wrapping paper, turning it into new material for production.
- Plastic elements: ribbons and packaging foil can be recycled for reuse.
- Cardboard boxes: These items are easy to turn into eco-friendly products.
For example, recycling one tonne of paper with our help saves about 17 trees, and recycling aluminum cans saves up to 95% of the energy needed to produce new ones.
