Residual waste in Neo's lunchroom halved
Following a reorganisation of the recycling bins in the Neo lunchroom, the amount of residual waste has been halved. This means that less waste is incinerated and more is recycled.
The number of bins for residual waste in the Neo lunchroom has been reduced and those that remain have been placed together with bins for other recycling, such as plastic, metal, or paper packaging. This means that the person throwing something away needs to make an active decision about which of the recycling bins the waste belongs in, which has led to a halving of residual waste in the lunchroom.
Residual waste is waste that cannot be recycled and is instead incinerated. However, much waste can be recycled and it is worse for the environment and the climate if it is disposed of in residual waste and sent to incineration. So it's good news that more people are now putting their waste in the right bins in the Neo lunchroom and that more waste is being recycled!
