Frequently asked questions

Because there are many plastic items (toys, furniture, vehicle and appliance parts, etc.) that are not packaging and are therefore outside the scope of Ecoembes' legal responsibility. In addition, current sorting and recycling plants are technologically equipped to process specifically household packaging waste, i.e. waste from selective collection containers. If the yellow bin began to receive various plastic products that were not household packaging, the process would lose efficiency and agility, thus running the risk of not meeting the packaging recycling targets stipulated by law.
