Waste recycle: a weapon against the crisis

A very good mood to fight the crisis comes from the packaging industry, counting in Italy over two thousand companies. Last year, indeed, about 1.68 million tons of wood wasting were recovered, 919,622 of which coming from packages (on 2007 were recovered 1,814,940 tons). “This means that 56 percent of packages put on the market last year have been recovered after being collected from the over 350 fixed sites”, said Marco Gasperoni, general manager of Rilegno during the third national convention on wooden packaging promoted by Rilegno and Consorzio servizi legno sughero that took place last April in Rome.
