The sustainable development can be achieved only if we get change the consumiption patterns. Speech about the environmental protection, global warming, sustainable development among other topics, will have no effects if is remain as words. We already know what should be done, now is up to us to stand out and do something to change this picture.

Cyberaction “Time” is more a reflection about what waste sorting, recycle and new consumiption standard in the world. There are dozens of documents about this subject, look some Pick-upau tips, join in us and do the difference!

Cardboard has 6 month of living Where does trash come from? Domestic garbage: begot in the house, offices, and so on, are waste of food, plastic, paper, metals, glass among other.

Every country, especially riches and developed (as USA, Japan, France, England, etc), should try harder promote the sustainable consumption patterns. For development countries (as Brazil, India and Mexico) don`t destroy the environment to achieve even higher levels of production, to improve their economies, sometimes these methodology is inefficient.

The carton is composed by 3 basics compounds: paper, plastic and aluminum. The first step is the recycling, which is the separation of paper using a big blender with water, called hidrapulper, which separate the layers of paper, plastic and aluminum through agitation. The obtained paper is used in the manufacture of cardboard and recycled paper. The layer of plastic and aluminum are used to manufacture board and tiles, useful in construction or in plastic parts. Another procedure available is the separation of plastic and aluminum through the thermal plasma technology, which turns plastic in paraffin and the aluminum recovered in the forms of bars of pure metal, (it happens at the Department of Environmental Development of Tetra Pak).
