Every day we make a multitude of mistakes in garbage segregation, we do not always wonder if a given waste has hit the right container, and yet it is so important … proper sorting allows you to recover secondary raw materials that reduce the use of natural resources. This time we take a closer look at the rice bags.
If we want to segregate waste well, then we should first find out what the individual colors of the container mean. What are we distinguished?
- yellow – plastic;
- blue – papier;
- green – glass;
- brown – bio waste;
- black – Mixed waste.
Tips for waste segregation can be found on the packaging – the symbols placed there make it easier to choose the right container. Unfortunately, we will not always find such markings on products. This is the case, for example, with rice bags.
We do not throw rice bags into plastic, but into mixed waste, i.e. to a black container. Why there?
Well, these bags are made of plastic, which contains Bisphenol A. This ingredient also occurs in metal cans and plastic bottles.
In contrast to these two packaging, rice bags are not recyclable because They are made of several layers of plastics that are difficult to separate and process. In addition, food remains often remain on them, which only confirms the belief that they should land in a black container.
Let’s also pay attention not only to the segregation of these bags, but also to. Due to the presence of bisphenol a It is better to cook it in a pot without a bag, because it can have a negative effect on the immune and hormonal system. In addition, it contributes to causing allergies and reducing fertility.
