Do I rinse my pot of chocolate mousse before throwing it away? And the plastic bottles, with or without caps in the yellow bin? Here are four tips for properly sorting your packaging to make recycling easier. If you are too lazy to read, you can watch our video placed at the top of this article.
All packaging goes in the yellow bin
“We don’t ask any questions” according to Sophie Genier, recycling director at Citeo. All packaging has been accepted in the sorting bin since January 1, 2023: cardboard boxes, cans or cans and all plastic packaging (shampoo bottles, yogurt pots or water pack films for example) .
No need to wash the packaging
You can put them directly in the sorting bin. Even your box of ravioli full of sauce or your pizza box soaked in spicy oil.
We avoid nesting packaging
Sometimes, to save space in our bin, we sometimes nest together all the pots of yogurt consumed by Jean-Yves and his little family at dinner then put the “tower of pots” in the box of a package of cakes. Stop this! This packaging Tetris wastes a lot of time in sorting centers.
No need to put in a bag before throwing away
“We throw each package directly into the trash,” says Sophie Genier. These packaging bags risk being confused with household waste and being refused by sorting centers.
