The Médiaunió launched a campaign for the selective collection of plastic bottles

The Médiaunió Alapítvány (Media Union Foundation) launched its It Is Not Hard campaign for the selective collection of plastic (PET) bottles – the organization told MTI on Friday.

In Hungary abut 100 million tons of waste is estimated to be generated each year, of which about 20 percent comes from households.

Referring to the data of the Szelektálok.hu portal the association highlighted that in Europe, 48 percent of the waste is collected separately, but in Hungary only 15 percent. (MTI)
