¿Is it organic waste the real threat?
As we noted in the previous post, countries with a higher level of industrial development recycle a large amount of waste, mainly glass, paper, metal and plastic within a range of other materials that do have structures and tools well defined for their separation and reuse in our society. Other developing countries have less waste generation level, well due to its lowest level of industrialization or by cultural differences in the reuse of those materials. Organic waste, however, is still pilling up and accumulating and we can say that, today, mixed organic waste are one of the biggest threat to the health of our planet. Let’s take a look why.
