Germany recycle a lot...but so does India, they just have different methord. In Germany bring empty bottel to the store is a way of life. Thanks to the deposit system. When you purchase a drink, you pay a deposit about 9 to 30 cents per bottel in order to recoup your deposit. Where i bought the bottel they refund my deposit. In Germany the collection rate 90% for all containers correctly returned to the store and 71% of all packaging waste is recycled. India recycled 90% of plastic it produces for bottel and containers. But unlike Germany and other Western countries. The informal economy recycle plastic in India. Dirt poor pickers and recellers collect recyclable waste to send to official recycling centers. They work at the bottom of the ladder at great risk to their health for shockingly meagres incomes to perform a vital sevice to society. |
