Divide and conquer: how and why to sort waste at home
Once upon a time, we thought that trash was just trash. Throw it in one bin, take it out, and forget about it. But times are changing. Today, each of us can contribute to a clean future. And, frankly, it’s not difficult at all. Especially if you have convenient trash sorting bags on hand, like those in the Budlea online store .
Why is waste sorting important?
Nature is unable to cope with the volume of waste that we produce daily. A bottle thrown into a regular bin will take hundreds of years to decompose. But if you recycle it, it will become a new bottle, tile, insulation, or even clothing.
By sorting waste, we:
- reducing the number of landfills
- we save resources
- we reduce the level of air, soil and water pollution
- We support the recycling economy.
And all this can be done without leaving home. The main thing is to start.
Three pillars of sorting: glass , paper , plastic
Let's divide waste into main categories and figure out how to handle it properly.
Glass 
Glass is a unique material: it can be recycled endlessly. The main thing is to separate it from other waste. This includes:
- bottles
- banks
- glass packaging
!!!Important: you cannot throw ceramics, mirrors and light bulbs here.
For this type of waste, the sturdy glass bags you can find at Budlea are perfect. They are made of durable material, do not tear, and are easy to label. They also look neat, so they will easily fit even in a small kitchen.
Newspapers, cereal boxes, office paper - all of these can be recycled. And again, save a tree or two.
!!!What is important to remember:
- the paper should not be greasy or wet
- The cardboard needs to be folded so that it takes up less space.
In the Budlea online store you will find convenient bags with the inscription " paper " - so that you do not get confused about where to put what. They are moderately dense and are suitable for storing at home until you take everything to the paper container.
Perhaps the most "painful" type of garbage. It is everywhere. But the good news is that it can be recycled. This includes:
- water bottles
- yoghurt packaging
- plastic containers
!!!Before throwing away - wash and flatten. This will save space and improve the chances of high-quality recycling.
Budlea also has specially marked bags for plastic - bright, clear and convenient.
Agree, it is nice when everything is organized: glass to glass, paper to paper, plastic - separately. But it is even nicer when it is done beautifully and conveniently.
On the Budlea website you will find waste sorting bags that:
- labeled (no need to guess where to put what)
- made of durable material
- different volume
Where to start?
No need to rush to extremes right away. Just start with three categories: glass , paper , plastic . Buy convenient bags, put them in a convenient place - and start filling. In a couple of weeks, you will not be able to imagine how you lived differently before.
Sorting is not about fashion. It's about caring. About the planet, about the future, about ourselves.
