Legambiente Campania: - Waste + Recycling Home » Legambiente Campania: - Waste + Recycling Contital is proud to announce the start of the collaboration with Legambiente Campania , a non-profit association that has been working for more than forty years to inform, raise awareness and involve citizens in activities to protect the environment and environmental resources in general. At the base of the project - Waste + Recycling there is the common goal of promoting and enhancing the use of aluminum to combat food waste. Why aluminum? Aluminum is a material defined as eco-friendly as it can be recycled 100% and indefinitely. Furthermore, the recycling of aluminum saves up to 95 percent of the energy required for the production of virgin aluminum, thus avoiding the corresponding CO2 emissions. Why is it important to avoid food waste? Halving food waste is one of the priorities of the European Union. According to Eurostat data, each EU citizen wastes an average of 180 kg of food per year and Italians are in fifteenth place in the ranking on food waste with an average of 149 kg per year / per capita. According to the FAO, food lost or thrown away in Europe could feed 200 million people. However, preventing food waste is not just an ethical problem. Reducing the quantities of uneaten food and consequent waste would lead to economic savings and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. The new awareness campaign - Waste + Recycling will cover the entire Campania region and will be aimed at both food sector professionals and citizens. All the trays made available by Contital for the campaign are certified "Remade In Italy" in category A + , since they contain a percentage of recycled aluminum greater than 90%.
