Benefits for the environment
Ecovidrio guarantees that 100% of the glass that is recovered in the containers is recycled to manufacture new glass containers and achieve multiple benefits for the environment and society.
With a gesture as simple as separating the bottles, bottles, jars and jars used to deposit later in the containers, reduces energy consumption, save raw materials and reduce landfills and air pollution.
Glass containers located in the streets serve only to collect glass containers: bottles, bottles, jars and jars consumed in homes and in the hotel, restaurant and catering sector.
There are other materials such as ceramics or other types of glass (dishes, glasses, window panes, etc.) which, having a composition different from that of the glass of the containers, must be deposited in the clean points of the towns and cities .
