WASTE RECYCLING

Since secondary packaging cannot be reused in the office, it is has to be sorted because only then can it be recycled.

Secondary raw materials are waste suitable for recycling and for manufacturing new products. Doing so allows us to reduce environmental pollution and conserve resources. Re-use of waste is a manufacturing process whereby our waste can be turned into new products. This process can usually be performed by specialized companies that have licences and special equipment. Consumers, being the main generators of secondary raw materials, can contribute to this process by proper sorting.

Waste generated by offices and people is handled by the municipality within which the office or person is located. The owner or administrator of the building must sign a waste disposal contract with the municipality or the municipal waste collector assigned by the municipality – only in this way will it be able to ensure adequate and consistent waste management (collection, transportation, delivery and proper disposal).

A person (a natural person or a legal person registered in the Republic of Lithuania; a branch or representative office of a legal person; or the branch or representative office, established in the Republic of Lithuania, of a legal person registered in Member States) shall be considered a municipal waste holder, irrespective of its legal form or the nature of its activities, and must sort the municipal waste that is subject to sorting according to laws and other legal acts.
