Compared to the amount recovered in 2018. According to the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT), each Mexican produces an average of 0.944 kilograms of waste per day. Every year, it accumulates 344.5 kilograms and of them, 95.4 kilograms correspond to recyclable waste. In our country, today it is possible to do a Circular Economy, that is; transform packaging waste into a new, completely clean one, or, through Linear Recycling, take advantage of the waste for the manufacture of various products. Thus, PET, for example, is transformed into new packaging - food and non-food grade - but also into t-shirts, blankets, footwear, and even, as has recently happened in the face of COVID-19, into protective face masks.
But PET is not the only material that has value in the recycling industry. Virtually all food and beverage containers and packaging can be used: Flexible Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) packaging , which, for example, can be found in bread bags, as well as Bi-Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) packaging, such as those used for snacks and cookies, can be converted into urban furniture, pallets , window Guatemala Mobile Number List profiles, plastic wood and pots. High Density Polyethylene ( HDPE), a thermoplastic polymer from which many rigid plastic containers for milk, yogurt or liquid detergents are made, can be recycled for the manufacture of new bottles, garbage containers , traffic signs and industrial parts. Aluminum is used for new can containers, automobile engines and wheels, various industrial parts and even bicycles.
Multilaminated cardboard, like the one used to make many milk and juice containers, is used to produce fibers for cardboard and paper, as well as for panels in the construction industry (Polyaluminum). Tinplate is useful for manufacturing not only new cans, but also all items derived from steel smelting . The previous examples are a clear example that the recycling industry in our country seeks to take advantage of and use resources to the maximum and, at the same time, curb the use of virgin raw materials and reduce the amount of waste. The industry's efforts are focused on taking the step towards a ' Circular Economy ', in which in addition to R euse , Reduce and Recycle , it adds two terms: Redesign and Rethink the idea of what we do with our waste.
