The problem with effective waste sorting in Slovakia is still significant. Many uncertainties are also caused by food -related waste such as meat packaging. We explain where such waste belongs and why incorrect habits can complicate the recycling process. Proper treatment of these waste not only facilitates recycling, but also protects the environment.
Meat packaging do not belong to a yellow container
- Plastic or metal packaging after meat products, although at first glance they can act as suitable for recycling, actually belong to the mixed waste container.
This is because they come into contact with organic substances such as blood or fat and are therefore not suitable for recycling.
However, the problem of separation is not just about packaging. The remnants of meat, bones and spoiled products should be handled as mixed waste and not as biological waste.
Small changes, a great impact
Changing habits is not easy, but it is essential for improving the waste management system in Slovakia. If you have the right information, even minor adjustments to everyday habits, such as proper waste sorting or waste prevention, they can significantly contribute to environmental protection.
For those who still have doubts about sorting, experts recommend paying attention to the regulations of local waste collection services. The rules may vary in individual municipalities, which further emphasizes the need for education and dialogue on how to dispose of waste more effectively.
