The ‘Separate Elimination of Clear PET Bottles’, which removes the label from clear PET bottles, such as mineral water and beverage bottles, will be implemented in most departments nationwide starting tomorrow.
I myself brought an empty bottle of water.
You must first rinse well to empty the content.
And the label comes off like this, and if you look closely, there is a part that can be easily removed on the edge of the label.
These days many companies are making labels so they can be easily removed.
I need to reduce the volume, but with the lid closed, the air will not escape, open the lid and press to reduce the volume as much as possible. The cap is subsequently closed again and disposed of separately from colored plastic bottles or other plastics.
These are apartments subject to mandatory separate discharge, apartments with more than 300 homes nationwide or apartments with elevators installed in more than 150 homes or with central heating.
The single-family homes will be implemented starting next December.
The reason for this somewhat cumbersome procedure is that clear PET bottles can be recycled into products such as T-shirts, bags, and cosmetic packaging.
When making a normal T-shirt, you need 12 500ml bottles and about 32 500ml bottles for a long sleeve jacket.
The government hopes that 100,000 tons of waste PET bottles can be recycled to create a new market worth about 420 billion won.
Due to the long period of Corona 19, many people order food for delivery or take it home after packing.
Recycling has also exploded.
According to statistics, plastic waste in the first half of this year increased by 15.6% over the same period last year.
Is it being handled as well as the increase?
This is the ‘Garbage Mountain’ in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do, where many reports were continued in June.
A waste disposal company said it would be disposed of because the cost of recycling was going down and the cost of treating waste was increasing.
The accumulated quantity until February of last year is only 23,000 tons, more than 40 times the allowed quantity.
To avoid repression, I even gave money to public officials.
The actual unit price of plastic waste, although it has recently shown a slight recovery, is different from the pre-coronavirus level.
The price of plastic waste itself fell due to falling oil prices, and exports were also restricted amid the coronavirus.
It is not easier because you have to classify the foreign objects here.
You will need a drink glass, a portable food container, and of course incentives to lower the price if you do this.
It is a small practice that is essential to reduce the discharge of disposable items and to dispose of them well.
