You can include recycling habits in your new summer routine. You can put them in your suitcase and make them part of your daily life during the holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the <strong>3R&#8217;s<\/strong> that you already know (<strong>Reduce, Reuse and Recycle<\/strong>), during the summer you can add many more R&#8217;s:<strong> Relax, Refresh yourself, Rediscover places and hobbies, Rethink the present, Rewrite the future (yours, ours and the planet&#8217;s) and Respect the environment.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you carry out all these R&#8217;s you can enjoy your holidays and at the same time be aware of your environmental responsibility. Disconnect from your daily routine during these days but do not leave aside the routine and habits of recycling and sustainability because it is very necessary to recycle during the summer holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SUSTAINABLE_HABITS_FOR_RECYCLING_DURING_THE_SUMMER_HOLIDAYS\"><\/span><strong>SUSTAINABLE HABITS FOR RECYCLING DURING THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is essential that <strong>during the summer period you maintain recycling habits and routines<\/strong>, promote them in those activities you do and with the people you interact with. If there is one thing you cannot take a break from, it is in contributing to the care of the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the business world, it is customary to prioritize the reduction of the ecological footprint of the company and there are several essential practices that, luckily, are becoming more common throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An easy and effective action is to establish recycling points for paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, clearly labeled, without forgetting the importance of recycling electrical and electronic products (WEEE). These key points to promote sustainability can be located in common areas of the offices such as dining rooms or passageways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees can also be encouraged to reduce the use of disposable plastics by promoting the use of reusable utensils and refillable water bottles. Many companies already implement these practices in their daily work and it is becoming increasingly rare to see plastic bottles in offices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-15100 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/reciclar-vacaciones-verano-TMA-4-300x183.png\" alt=\"Consejos y h\u00e1bitos sostenibles durante el verano\" width=\"450\" height=\"275\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/reciclar-vacaciones-verano-TMA-4-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/reciclar-vacaciones-verano-TMA-4-768x469.png 768w, https:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/reciclar-vacaciones-verano-TMA-4-700x428.png 700w, https:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/reciclar-vacaciones-verano-TMA-4.png 800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 450px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 450\/275;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, <strong>in the private sphere,<\/strong> various sustainable habits can be adopted and maintained during the holidays.

When you do outdoor activities, you can separate the waste you generate and deposit it in the corresponding containers as soon as you can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, more and more natural areas have waste sorting containers, but if not, store waste in reusable bags until you find a recycling point.

It is advisable to crush the bottles to save space and remove the caps, as they are often made of different types of plastic.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Aluminium cans:<\/strong> Drinks cans, which are very cold, are very popular in summer. Aluminium is a highly recyclable material so you can enjoy the drink first and then take care of the environment. Rinse the cans, crush them and place them in the YELLOW bin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Glass containers:<\/strong> During the warmer months, many glass jars and bottles are used, both for drinks and food, and you should always keep in mind that the containers can be recycled.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glass is infinitely recyclable without losing quality, so there is no excuse.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Before recycling containers,<\/strong> rinse them well and remove any lids or corks and place them in the GREEN container.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Cardboard containers:<\/strong> cardboard containers are often used when consuming juices and milk. These containers have a plastic or aluminium coating that can make recycling difficult, but this is no excuse. These containers and cartons can be recycled if they are rinsed properly and placed in the YELLOW container.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of these materials can be recycled and converted into new products: the easy thing would be to throw them away from the start, but that would not be sustainable. There are many types of waste that can be converted into new products, applying the appropriate treatment for recycling.
