Wiring pipe, bag for incinerating hospital waste, carton board barrel, ropes, caps, motor oil package, corrugated tube, battery box and concrete saver. All those articles are manufactured by the reuse of empty containers.
First among all articles derived from recycled containers, the corrugated tube, a 100% recycled item, is manufactured by the same company that produces bag for incineration of hospital material. Plastic wood is another interesting material which fully replaces natural wood when used as hedges, benches, door post, and it is also made of 100% recycled material.
In replacing polystyrene when filling up expanded pavements in civil construction, concrete saver allows an economy of 30% in concrete and 50% in steel, besides providing lighter structures.
The caps of agrochemical containers are the first product to return to its original use after recycling.
