Building a cleaner world is everyone's task, especially in the responsibility for waste generation. Each year, Chile produces more than 20 million tons of garbage, a worrying figure but which is expected to begin to decrease with the new measures promoted at the government level, such as the REP Law, or municipal initiatives focused on the recycling of organic waste.
To contribute to this common goal, at Hidronor we recommend some actions that can help mitigate waste generation, increase the circular economy and take care of our environment, take note!:
- Reduce food waste: Buy only what you need and compost what you throw away.
- Buy in bulk: Today there are many stores that offer a large number of over-the-counter products, and you can bring your own containers to store them, avoiding the excessive use of plastic.
- Think and reduce what you consume: Each product that we acquire also brings with it waste. Think carefully if you need it and take responsibility for your waste: separate and recycle what you can to generate conscious consumption.
- Save energy: Whether through the use of renewable energies, energy saving light bulbs, the use of rechargeable batteries or unplugging chargers that you do not use, you can not only reduce your electricity bill, but also contribute to caring for the planet.
- Reduce the consumption of plastics and prefer those that contain eco-labels: We know that plastic is one of the worst enemies of our ecosystem, as it takes many years to decompose. Whenever you can, opt for other alternatives, or choose the containers with the signage "I choose-recycle".
- Take care of the water: Chile is going through one of its worst droughts in recent years, so it is important to take care of its consumption. Use it consciously when you wash the dishes, take a shower or water your patio.
Let's generate efficient consumption and contribute to building a more sustainable Chile!
