Recycling of containers by Autonomous Communities

100% of the packaging waste that is collected in the yellow containers and that has been placed on the market by the companies belonging to the system is sent to one of the 97 sorting plants in Spain, where it is separated by type of material (plastic, brik and metal). With the blue ones, this separation is not necessary because the container is monomaterial (paper / cardboard). Once separated by material, they are sent to one of the 428 recycling plants where they will be transformed into new raw material.
