WHAT HAPPENS TO THE MATERIALS WE PUT IN THE BLUE ECO POINT?
BECOME NEW PAPER?

ģYES, PAPER IS, LIKE GLASS, ONE OF THE RECYCLABLE MATERIALS THAT
CAN BE MORE REUSED AND TRANSFORMED INTO NEW RAW MATERIALS.
But, for that, there are some rules to be respected.
ģ WHAT'S THE ADVANTAGE?
Recycling saves energy, saves virgin raw materials and reduces the amount of
waste to be treated.
The production of recycled paper, for example, consumes less energy (two to
three times) and water than the production of vegetable fiber and the recycling
of wooden packaging avoids the cut down of trees.
In addition, recycled paper can have up to 6 more new lives!
ģ WHAT CAN I PUT IN THE BLUE ECO POINT?
You can place everything from cardboard boxes, magazines and newspapers,
writing paper, matchboxes, promotional coupons, envelopes, toilet paper rolls
and paper bags.

Ĵ WHAT CAN’T I PUT?
You should not deposit self-adhesive or plasticized papers, dirty or greasy papers such as pizza boxes or parchment
paper that you used on an oven tray, wipes or diapers, aluminum foil in the blue recycling bin; chemical or vegetable
paper, kitchen paper and napkins used for meals.
WHY?
Because they are contaminants. That is, they are different materials that avoid the paper from being recycled correctly.

ģ WHAT SHOULD I DO, THEN, TO THESE MATERIALS I CAN'T PUT INTO THE BLUE ECO POINT?
You should put them in the common/undifferentiated trash.
In most places, undifferentiated garbage collects food scraps and all other materials that are not recyclable packaging.
This is where you need to collect these materials made of paper that are not recyclable.
If in your area of residence there is separate collection of bio-waste (only food scraps), you will need to have a different
bag for this common waste.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PAPER THAT GOES FOR RECYCLING?
It is transformed into a new raw material which, in turn, is used to produce newspapers, notebooks, boxes, books,
recycled paper, toilet paper, etc.
