A “green island” is a place on a public surface on which containers for separate waste collection are located. Separate collection and disposal of waste in green islands enables the use of all those valuable raw materials, reduces the amount of waste that ends its cycle in landfills, and helps solve the burning problem of environmental protection.
Research has shown that citizens are ready for separate disposal of waste if the landfill is within 500 meters from the house. With special bell-shaped containers for glass, plastic and paper, so-called “green islands”, we enable exactly that – separate disposal of waste packaging.
Nature is not a place to visit. It is home. – Gary Snyder
Containers are emptied on the spot with specialized trucks. This way of disposing of waste packaging is suitable for businesses that have smaller amounts of packaging waste or are limited in terms of space for storing containers.
The “green islands” encompass places where basic waste containers are located, namely:
- PET, Plastic packaging, yellow container
- PAPER, Paper packaging, blue container
- GLASS, Glass packaging, green container
