📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of the Environment reminds you that not separating waste increases pollution, accumulates garbage and damages ecosystems, especially marine ones.Urban growth and increased consumption are generating a greater amount of solid waste. Faced with this challenge, recycling is presented as a fundamental tool to improve environmental management in the country. The Ministry of the Environment (Minam) promotes policies, programs and actions aimed at promoting responsible waste management.
From its governing role, Minam promotes that solid waste is made the most of by encouraging its reuse and recycling before disposing of it and the idea is that each person takes responsibility for what they generate.
These actions make it possible to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills or dumps, and at the same time take advantage of materials such as paper, plastic and organic waste for the production of new products. In this way, we contribute to reducing pollution, conserving natural resources and confronting climate change.
Likewise, the ministry strengthens the circular economy through various initiatives, such as the Recycle program, led by the municipalities. These actions facilitate the incorporation of formalized recyclers into the system, promoting decent employment and recognizing their contribution to waste management.
Another important axis is environmental education. Through the Recycle Now campaign, we seek to promote the correct segregation of waste from homes. To this end, the proper use of differentiated bins is promoted: brown for organic, black for non-usable, red for hazardous and green for usable waste.
The lack of waste separation generates consequences such as an increase in pollution, the accumulation of garbage in public spaces, the loss of recyclable materials and the impact on ecosystems, especially marine ones.
In this sense, the Ministry of the Environment invites citizens to actively participate in these actions. Recycling is not only an environmental practice, but a shared responsibility to move towards sustainable development.
