The selective collection of 5 fractions (OFMSW, light packaging, paper/card, glass and non-segregated fraction) is the most widespread option in Catalonia.
The segregated collection of packaging enables good quality to be obtained for this fraction and saves on the costs of sorting processes compared to other types of collection that group some fractions together.
However, citizens are now more demanding, which translates to levels of segregated collection, particularly of packaging, which are generally lower than with other models. Raising these levels requires communication campaigns and collection systems that make it easier for citizens to participate. |
