Why Recycling

A turning point in packaging waste recycling

Novo Verde is a new provider of waste management services operating nationwide, responsible for the collection, recovery and/or recycling of packaging and packaging waste. Our mission is to ensure that packaging waste is properly sent for recovery or recycling, demonstrating our commitment to the environment.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

Your initiative is essential in the chain of waste management, as we are all responsible for separating waste and forwarding it for reuse and recycling.

In our daily lives, we use numerous packages in the most diverse contexts that can be produced with recycled materials, avoiding the extraction of them from nature.

Recycling Advantages

Once the separation of the waste is ensured, its recycling follows a process that leads to the extraction of raw materials that can be returned to the industry. This waste recycling brings a series of advantages that we should highlight:

⇔〉 Protection of natural resources, as the separate collection allows the extraction of new raw materials out of the waste and extends their life cycle. For example, recycling plastics reduces petroleum consumption, recovering metal packaging avoids mining ores, using recycled glass to make new packaging saves riverbeds (sands needed for manufacturing), and using recycled paper reduces tree cutting;

⇔〉 reduction in the consumption of energy, water and natural resources (raw materials) in the production process, as it is lower when made from waste rather than new raw materials;

⇔〉 Reduction of the amount of waste sent to landfills, thus reducing the waste of resources in the construction of similar new structures. Only that waste that cannot be recycled should be used in these structures;

⇔〉 Job creation;

⇔〉 Compatibility with the concept of a circular economy.

The recycling of used packaging allows the production of quality materials, new items or even new packaging in a virtually endless cycle with or without the addition of new raw materials.

Recovery – a new life for your waste

In our daily lives we use various packaging and objects that were produced from packaging waste discarded and properly separated by consumers, namely:
