Despite clear labelling and informational campaigns about proper waste segregation, contamination remains a persistent issue. If food scraps, plastic bags, and containers with food residues are placed in the recycling bin alongside bottles and cans, they can contaminate the recycling stream, resulting in the entire batch being diverted to landfill.
The primary goal of waste diversion is to minimise the amount of waste sent to landfills or incinerators, thereby reducing environmental pollution, conserving resources, and promoting sustainability.
As we work towards building a sustainable future, it is essential to actively engage and empower children to address the growing problem of plastic waste.
