Management of Wastes

Since the First of January 2003, the majority of German drinks are recorded: they are paid a little more by the consumer who may then recover its due by returning containers in stores. The price is 8 cents for a can of empty beer, 15 cents for a reusable plastic bottle and 25 for all non-recyclable container . Accumulated , these are round the ends of month many Berliners. Some guys do something strange in streets they are called « Pfandsammler ». They have to take all the empty bottles and put them in a trash bag. The France wants to do this too.

 The movement is supported by the beverage brand "social" Lemonaid. They install a lot of containers. This project help a lot the germany for being the Champ of the recycling. Today, Germany managed to send only very little waste in landfills. In 2007, only 3 kilos of rubbish per person. While France is 185 kilos per person per year. The germany is considered like the champion of the recycling.
