The Recycle Map

The Recycle MapWaste recycling is one of the most important ways to diminish the onslaught of the Earth’s resources and should be an accepted component of every company and household. About 1/7 of the world’s waste produced comes from households with the rest from companies. Recycling heightens our awareness of how so much of the world’s valuable materials can be salvaged. Furthermore, by recycling we ensure that dangerous chemicals will receive proper treatment, diminishing their detrimental impact on the environment. Besides assuring better use of our limited resources, recycling makes us more conscious, in general about the need to take responsibility for the environment. It is, of course, most sensible to choose natural chemicals rather than synthetic ones and items with less packaging. While everything that can be recycled should be sorted, some waste in modern society is still unavoidable.

In order to simplify recycling and encourage people to partake in limiting the amount of unsorted waste that goes into the household waste bin, Nature.is has developed the Recycle Map. The Recycle Map gives you a comprehensive picture of recycling opportunities in Iceland, showing you where the nearest recycle containers and recycling services are located. It also informs you of the waste categories that are accepted at each location.
