Not all people of Kiev are aware of the possibility to pass the packet for processing, however, now to the processing plant every day comes more than a ton of material. Packages there is first sorted by color, and then tweak the mechanisms that are crushed matter and make semi-finished products, ready for transformation into a new product – from plumbing pipes, basins and shovels to the exact bags.
What can be done from these bags the company has been showing at the special exhibition, trying to convince the authorities that she was allowed to put more kiosks for collection of recyclable materials. Because this initiative helps to save the environment without processing each packet is decomposed for several hundreds of years and are poisoning the environment, threatening the lives of birds and animals.
