We had prepared some works to offer before our visit They are made with recycling materials (at least we thought they were!)

First, we watched a presentation on waste management and recycling...
Then, we were offered food and soft drinks...
Finally, we were taken on a guided tour...

We learnt interesting things... People do not recycle in the right way, so their efforts do not bring the expected results Plastic glasses cannot be recycled Only 4 kinds of plastic can be recycled (1,2,4,5) - the other 3 types (3,6,7) cannot be recycled We can recycle organic waste in the brown bins EPADYM will give us
There are 160 employees working in the company Two years later, energy can be produced by the waste gases Each person produces 1kg waste/day Our prefecture is the only one in Greece which has had this system since 2017, but the structures have been prepared since 2005
Our thoughts about/after the visit... Where are we heading as a planet? Anastasia Waste can return us much money, if we use it in the right way Anastasia

What can citizens do to protect the environment? They can recycle They can reuse They can push governments to create companies like EPADYM They can save resources (water, metal, etc) Teachers can run projects on recycling and waste management They can carry their own bags when they go shopping
Parents should teach their children to recycle We should dispose of dangerous waste in the right way
What can companies do to protect the environment? To use environmentally friendly materials for packaging To be responsible when they manage their own waste They should run campaigns to inform their customers They should minimize their waste They should comply with the laws They should use raw materials friendly to the environment
