Paris - The French System
Two recycling bins are used in Paris:
White for glass, and yellow for paper, metal and plastic. All other trash is put into a green bin. Council officials claim that 2 recycling options is the limit they believe Parisians will tolerate. This is borne out with a conservative estimate in the city that in every recycling bin collected, 7 items will be correct, and 3 are unrecycleable and should have been put in the trash.
At a recycling centre on the outskirts of the city, workers hand separate items before technology takes over: steel is removed with a magnet, and plastic and cans are kept together, while paper and card are shipped by barge to a plant in Rouen for pulping.
Proudly officials claim that all the separate recycling processes are done within France. France has pioneered some recycling technologies so that until recently, the UK shipped some of its recyclable waste to be processed in France.
