\n\n\t \n What is the connection between recycling and the 4Rs? <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n
\n [vc_column_text]Recycling makes it possible to transform recovered materials into new products. It is part of the 4R principle, in this order: r<\/strong>eduction at source, r<\/strong>euse, r<\/strong>ecycling, r<\/strong>ecovery (energy recovery and composting). Four ways to reduce the waste from our resources. The first R, reduction at source, is the most important. Why? The waste that pollutes the least is the one that is not produced.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t \n Why is it important to sort properly? <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n
\n [vc_column_text]Unacceptable materials placed in the blue bin can contaminate the other materials, increase processing costs at the sorting centre and jeopardize the second life of these materials.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t \n What happens to the materials that you place in your blue bin? <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n
\n [vc_column_text]The possibilities for materials that are placed in your blue bin are sometimes amazing. Did you know that the newspapers that you dispose of in your blue bin are used to make animal litter and that glass is used in making concrete blocks<\/span>? <\/span><\/p>\n
