EditingCOLLECTING MILK BOXES, PLASTIC GLASSES, AND NILON BAGS
📍 Have you heard of these speaking numbers? It is up to 1.8 MILLION TONS of #plastic given out from Vietnam each year (according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)). As much as 1,5 BILLION of used milk cartons every year (equivalent to 150,000 Tons) discarded in our country, while 100% of paper milk cartons can be #recycled into #useful materials and products. What’s next if the numbers keep increasing?
♻️ Fortunately, we still have many organizations that are trying to #collect and #recycle used milk boxes and plastic glasses daily. We also hope to add more roofs made by used milk boxes and get more useful recyclable things that seem to be trash.
♻️ We still are collecting #used_milk_boxes,#nilon_bags and #plastic_bottles at An Xanh 1958 - LearningHub Cafe. If you have any questions about the process of the collection, please comment below to we know and support you.
Besides, you can contact Mr. Nghia. He will transport them to the recycling factory to start their new life. Please contact him on this number: 0898 651 571.
Thank you so much for your interest. I hope all of you have a meaningful tonight
