Spring brings not only new trends in fashion and beauty, but also new care and cosmetic products to the bathroom.
But what do you do with the old or empty bottles, jars and cans? The “Waste Separation Works” initiative now provides helpful tips on how to properly separate and recycle bathroom waste.
A wide variety of waste is generated in the bathroom every day, from empty glass jars to used cotton pads. But how do you separate bathroom waste correctly? The initiative emphasizes that proper separation is crucial to preserving valuable raw materials.
Axel Subklew, spokesperson for “Waste Separation Works”, explains: “Whether it’s mascara or deodorant roll-on, the packaging of care and cosmetic products contains valuable raw materials. If they end up in the residual waste, they cannot be recycled.”
There are clear rules for proper waste separation in the bathroom:
➡️ Plastic packaging such as shampoo bottles belong in the yellow bin or yellow bag, while glass packaging such as perfume bottles should be disposed of in glass recycling containers.
➡️ Paper, cardboard and cartons find their place in the waste paper bin, while the residual waste is intended for waste such as cotton pads or toothbrushes.
Packaging recycling produces around four million tonnes of secondary raw materials every year, which is an important source for the manufacture of new products.
