We Recycle

Paper made from cellulose fibres as we know it nowadays
was first made in China more than 2000 years ago.
Over 400 million tons of paper and cardboard are annually produced worldwide,
of which more than half comes from recovered sources.

Thanks to the almost infinite potential of plastics, we use twenty times
more plastics today than we did 50 years ago.
However, popularity and a wide range of plastic material poses a challenge
for the recycling industry to a certain extent.
In spite of all, recycling processes significantly reduce the consumption of raw materials,
energy, water and air pollution and, and above all the amount of plastics coming to landfills.

Metals are generally divided into ferrous and non-ferrous.
Steel and an iron alloys containing carbon are by far the most recycled ferrous materials in the world.
Total steel production reached 1.3 billion tonnes in 2008, of which over 500 million tonnes were produced from scrap metal.
The most commonly used non - ferrous metals are aluminium,
copper, lead, zinc, nickel, titanium, cobalt, chromium
and precious metals and rare earths.

Glass bottles and jars are 100% recyclable
and can be recycled "infinitely" without risk of losing its quality,
purity or clarity.
Recycled glass can substitute up to 95% of glass made of raw materials.

Refrigerators, TVs, mobile phones, laptops, and many other electronic gadgets and devices have become an integral part of the lives of most people. Every year, demand for new, better and more efficient devices is growing at an average rate of 8 %, with more than 300 million computers and around one billion mobile phones being produced each year.

Even though the world's wood consumption is growing, the recycling rate of this raw material is still at a relatively low level, at around 10 - 15%, with wood accounting for up to 10% of waste ending at landfills. The reason for this is especially a frequent presence of undesirable admixtures such as various adhesives, paints, nails and the like. However, a number of improvements in technological processes, such as better crushing and more effective removal of undesirable substances mean higher quality of final recycled wood resulting in a wider range of its uses.

Oils such as used engine and gear oils, industrial oils - cutting, grinding and cooling emulsions or contaminated fuels are also hazardous wastes. With modern technology, many of these oils can be recycled and put back on the market. Our company has approval to recycle oils R9 activity >>

In fluorescent lamps, whether straight fluorescent lamps, compact fluorescent lamps or high intensity discharge lamps, there is mercury, the vapour of which, when incorrectly handled, can be released into atmosphere and not only contaminate the environment but also damage human health. Up to 80 % of spent fluorescent lamps can be re-used therefore their recycling is highly effective and desirable. Incandescent light bulbs, illuminate bulbs or halogen bulbs are not intended for separate collection and cannot be recycled.

"Battery" or "accumulator" means any source of electrical energy used in numerous portable devices or electrical appliances. Due to their chemical composition showing hazardous properties, their separate collection is essential.
