Did you ever wonder where the recyclable bottles go which you give back into the ...
... bottle-machine here in Germany? I took a look at my workplace today where I earned some money during my apprenticeship until last year. (Actually, the machine got full while people were putting bottles in and I knew how to fix it so I just went in)
Yess, all of the glass bottles and even Mehrweg gets hand-sorted by size, colour and brand into the right boxes. 😮 It always took me 1,5 hours to get everything done back here.
I always find it fascinating to see how all those things work that you see everyday, but you don't realize the work behind it. It makes me appreciate the comfort we get to enjoy.
Have a good shopping everybody.
this effort is obviously worth it🌿. but i also didn't know that it looks like this behind a returning point.
Yess, but I see how we could do so much more to recycle...
We always "Return It It's Worth It" lol so they say over here at the depots! There's a cool show on tv I watch called How it's Made pretty cool!🥰👍
Great thing when people bring their stuff to the depots even though they aren't forced to. I know that if not-recycling would cost you something, people would make the effort. Here in Germany you pay 25cents more for every recyclable bottles when you buy it and you get it back when you return the bottles. I find that so smart.
And I gotta take a look into that show 😁
