The Open Recycling initiative

What happens after the dumpster? Who runs the recycling cycle? And what role do we all play?

The Open Recycling initiative was created to answer these questions.

Recycle Covered is in fact the annual event promoted by Comieco that since 2001 opens the doors of the plants of the paper and cardboard recycling chain to schools, citizens, institutions, media and all those who are interested in understanding, live watching the various stages of the industrial process, what happens to paper and cardboard once delivered in the appropriate containers.

Since 2001 Ricicloaperto shows the reality of paper and cardboard recycling by showing up the most important and less known aspects of the recycling cycle. A reality made up of paper, paper and recycling plants that every day work synergistically to give new life to paper, cardboard and cardboard that we have differentiated.

The aim of this project is to educate the youngest - and not only - to a conscious use of resources, to discover the industrial value of paper and cardboard recycling, the professionalism and technologies of the sector, to reassure citizens about the usefulness of their daily commitment to separate collection.

The open doors of the paper and cardboard recycling chain that has already involved over 240,000 people: every year, on the occasion of the opening to the public of the facilities, we welcomed over 15,000 visitors.

Since 2021, thanks to the acceleration of technologies, Recyclableto also switch to digital: ready to bring the cycle of paper and cardboard recycling directly in schools, homes and companies.
