They have to deposit the glass containers in the five special containers located in different parts of the town center.

The municipality of the Region that recycles more glass during the campaign will get a municipal track to be reformed with recycled glass

The Councilor for Sustainable Mobility and Youth, Rebeca Pérez, has attended the presentation of the 'Encesta glass, we all win' campaign promoted by Ecovidrio and in which different municipalities of the Region participate, including Murcia.

Thus, five vinyl containers have been installed with the campaign that will remain until next Sunday, November 3, on Liberty Avenue, Glorieta, Alfonso X, University Square and Plaza Santa Isabel, where Murcia will have to deposit their containers of glass and thus achieve that in the municipality a municipal track with recycled glass is built, as an example of the circular economy.

Rebeca Pérez has encouraged all Murcia "to participate in the campaign and to continue demonstrating that Murcia is a city committed to the environment and committed to recycling."

"Recycling glass is a key element in the fight against climate change. By using calcine (recycled glass) in the manufacture of new packaging, the extraction of raw materials from nature is avoided, avoiding soil erosion and deforestation of our In addition, the emission of CO2 in the manufacturing process is minimized and energy is saved, "said the councilor.

With this campaign Ecovidrio launches a challenge to citizens and rewards its collective effort and commitment to recycling with the reform of a municipal track with recycled glass.

In addition, it seeks to promote the daily practice of sport, as a habit of healthy living by valuing municipal facilities for the development of sports activities.

The recycling of glass in the municipality has grown almost 9% in one year since from January to September 2018, 5,143,370 kilograms were recycled while in the same period of this year 5,602,009 has been recycled.
