Yeah, Italy is surprisingly good in this regard - even their recycling seems well-organised, although I'm still unsure how/why they mix soft plastics in with bottles, etc. I was under the impression that sort of mixing screwed up the recycling chain.
I know I'm at constant loggerheads with my Italian partner who keeps putting soft plastics in the recyling here in London, even though it's supposed to be filtered out!
- hef19898 5y agoUs Germans are recycling for what seem to be forever. At first the Italian system (it is quite a while we spent time there) was really confusing. One get's used to it so, I still mixed up the colors between organic and plastic waste occsionally so.
- formerly_proven 5y agoA major reason for trash separation is actually easier furnace control for burning it, not recycling.
