The Italians are learning to recycle more and better. That would seem from the data Ecodom, 2010 relating to the collection of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). The 17% increase over 2009, which led to the recycling of 89,100 tonnes of old refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, dishwashers, hoods and ovens, has avoided that in our atmosphere were placed about 1 million 800 thousand tons of CO2, equal to the amount which would absorb a forest as large as the province of Ancona in a year. According to Giorgio
Arienti, CEO of Ecodom, good results are "mostly on Italian citizens, who are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment."
Thanks to dispose of these types of appliances, reduces emissions of climate-altering substances (which cause the greenhouse effect), so called "ozone-depleting" and also results in a significant energy savings by recycling of raw materials.
Suffice it to say that in 2010 alone, from the collection of this type of household were obtained 58,340 tons of iron, equal to the amount of material used to produce tires of one million cars, 1,655 tons of copper, 2,876 tons of aluminum, that cover the requirements for the construction of over 215 000 million cans, 7,500 tonnes of plastic with which they could build 150 million bottles of 1.5 liters. All
simply handing over to a designated collection its appliances that are no longer used.
