Recyclable Materials - TSV
Recyclable materials are resources that can be reprocessed and used as new products after use. They are mainly classified into four major categories: plastic (7 resin identification codes), paper and cardboard, metal (aluminum and steel), and glass. Proper separation and recycling enable effective resource utilization and reduction of environmental impact. Correct separation is required according to the collection standards of each municipality.
