"waste collection": until a few years ago I never thought that one day I had three buckets in the house to divide the paper, plastic and even kitchen waste, without regard to the glass (which we set aside time to time and throw in the "bells"), batteries, cans and medicines. Many times (this is not helped by manufacturers), we enter into crisis because 'we do not know if that container can' be recycled and what material it is. For this I have gathered some information that I hope will have some utility '. This activity ', which in most cases,' entry of force in our lives and our homes due to environmental alarm that we are living for our children must become a natural thing: the world and future 'only their and not ours, that today we travel around 40 years, and 'Our task instead to educate them to a greater respect for our planet than there 'was in years past. Small gestures that if all the facts make sense.

These symbols indicate that the package should be thrown in the recycling containers. The symbol of the collection is also on the card packs that contain a transparent window film that allows the consumer to see the contents of the box. Certainly the film should not be collected with the paper, but Comieco (the consortium to recover paper and cardboard), ensures that is part of the impurities "physiological" which do not affect the recovery mechanism.
Both can mean two things: that part of the packaging material is recycled, or that the same is recyclable, but not necessarily recycled. Therefore, without further specification is a little 'ambiguous. However the symbol on the left about the packages of paper and cardboard, while the right plastic bags. In particular, the numbers 1 to 6 contained in the latter mark indicating the type of plastic used in accordance with an established code, with the exception of 7, indicating that the material is not recyclable. It may happen that for greater precision in the next issue we are also abbreviations (eg, 02 = PE-HD or High Density Polyethylene, PE-LD 04 = Low Density Polyethylene that is). 
These symbols specify the material used to produce the package
* ACC indicates that the container is made of steel, and can be put into containers for recycling cans that are made of aluminum. In fact, thanks to a large electromagnet are separated with ease.
* AL indicates that the container is made of aluminum and may be placed in bins for recycling of cans.
CA * specifies that the paper has been coupled with non-recyclable material, so can not be recycled (eg containers for long-life milk-tetra).
* PE specifies that this synthetic resin (plastic) is made from polyethylene.
* PET indicates that this synthetic resin is made from polyethylene terephthalate.
PP * indicates that this synthetic resin is composed of polypropylene.
PVC * indicates that this synthetic resin is composed of polyvinyl chloride. We emphasize that its combustion is highly pollutant if it occurs at temperatures below 800 ° C and in the absence of oxygen. In fact, in these conditions, dioxins are formed (Caused by the presence of chlorine) that contribute to the destruction of the ozone layer. NOTE: The chemical recycling of different plastic resins are still at an experimental stage, and because it is complicated manual separation of different resins, usually opts for recycling, heterogeneous, from which you can extract only the objects used for street furniture, such as baskets, tables, benches, planters, tiles permeable parking lots.
VE * indicates that the container is glass and therefore can be put in the glass recycling bins.
mistakenly regarded as a symbol that allows the recycling of packaging, this brand, very popular in Northern Europe, but indicates that the manufacturer adheres to the consortia (required by law), to organize the recovery and recycling of packaging. In Italy, because they have not yet been laid down precise rules by the competent authorities, it loses its meaning
This symbol is to be found in most household cleaners and indicates that this will produce soap were used surfactants (substances that dissolve dirt) to 90% biodegradable in 28 days. Some companies claim that their product is 100% biodegradable according to validation tests provided for by EU directives.
NB It is a mark that certifies a particular ecological nature of the product as the biodegradability of surfactants is a feature that should have all the washing as required by law 136 of 1983. Rather it would be more interesting to have a box that shows the percentage of inert material and additives (materials that do not improve the cleaning power of soap, eg. Perfumes and dyes or powders to increase the weight) that pollute unnecessarily.
