Ceramics and porcelain are some of the many materials that are often mistaken for glass and end up being thrown into the wrong dumpsters or bins.
Misdelivery invalidates its recycling process by originally compromising the entire collection and separation cycle.
The misunderstanding stems from the fact that indeed porcelain contains glass, but this is mixed with other components such as sand, iron oxides, quartz, and clay and therefore cannot be imparted into the glass.
If we have to dispose of ceramic objects, such as vases, plates, ornaments or other items, including porcelain, it is therefore a good idea to remember that they should be disposed of in the recycling bin, perhaps for your own safety by wrapping them in a paper or plastic bag.
Respecting these small habits allows us to do our work better, but more importantly, to ensure significantly higher raw material recovery rates, resulting in significant ecological and economic savings that are passed on to the community.
