Recycling in these corners of the globe(3)

Recycling In South America

Chile recycles nearly 17 million tonnes of waste annually, which is less than 10%, but it makes it the leader in a continent struggling to make headway in this sector. Lacklustre environmental messaging, non-existent laws and few recycling firms: the causes of the problem are numerous, but fortunately some entrepreneurs are taking matters into their own hands.

For instance, dozens of new innovative projects are being implemented every year, including information campaigns on paper recycling in Colombia, voluntary collection points in Argentina, the conversion of plastic bottles into survival blankets in Peru, and mass electronic waste collection days in Mexico. These projects are helping recycling to grow rapidly in all four corners of Latin America.

As a waste sorting system manufacturer, Qunfeng can provide waste recycling system, garbage sorting system, hydraulic baler machine and so on.
