What is the recycling process?
The recycling process begins at home. It is very easy! We have to separate the garbage at home and to do this, we need two trash cans: one for recyclable wastes and another for non-recyclable wastes. In the trash can for recyclable wastes, you throw: paper, metal, plastic and Tetra Pak packages. In the other, you throw, for instance, leftovers and what is left after cleaning. You know Tetra Pak packages well, since they protect the milk, the juice and the tomato sauce you consume. Tomorrow, they can become something else, while they protect nature.
What is the carbon footprint?
1 What is the carbon footprint? It is the calculation of the total of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced directly or indirectly by companies, products and/or services and also by people and events. In this way, we can calculate the contribution of these gases to global warming, either at a company by calculating the emissions of its activities or in products and services calculating the emissions produced during their lifecycle. We can even calculate our own footprint or that of a particular event. Such calculations are applied to the direct and indirect emissions. We call direct emissions those caused by the company’s sources or by sources managed by the company, for example, in the use of fuel and in industrial processes. And indirect emissions are the ones that result from the purchase of energy or of products and outsourced services.
