Why should waste be sorted?

Sorting waste at home is important for several reasons. First and foremost is for our health and a clean living environment. Therefore, separating of dangerous waste and problematic products (electronics, tyres, etc) is especially important, because their mishandling is harmful to both nature and human health. Secondly, it is environmentally friendly since sorting results in quality waste being reused. Paper, biodegradables and packaging are all valuable raw materials for recycling. Thirdly, sorting saves money. Packaging, for example, accounts for up to 60% of household waste and can be deposited in public containers free of charge.
