Things to know about recycling in Germany.
Germany takes recycling seriously. Germans, who have a long tradition of social consciousness, recycle more of their rubbish than most other European nations. Germans recycled up to 70 percent of some materials, including 41 percent of plastic. In the state of Bavaria, next to the state of Baden-Würtemberg, only 1 percent of rubbish goes to landfill. Visitors are expected to do their bit. In Spain the way of recycling is quite similar, we used the same system: bins are colour-code. But in Germany if you placing items in the wrong container may be quietly reprimanded. So we must be carefully about recycling.
The colours of the bin are as follow:
*For paper is usually blue and sometimes green.
*Plastic goes into the yellow bin, along with milk cartons, cans, polystyrene and aluminium (marked with the Green Dot icon of two interlocking arrows)
*Glass is usually collected in hostels to be taken to bottle banks (Green bins) commonly in supermarket car parks. However most bottles – glass and plastic- usually have a deposit (Pfand) on them of around 0.30//0.50 Euros per item to be cashed at specified re-collection centres, most conveniently supermarkets.
*Biodegradables, including coffee grounds and teabags, go in another bin, usually brown.
*Rubbish (Müll) goes into a grey or black and usually empty.
Cosas que hay que saber sobre el reciclaje en Alemania.
Alemania es un país que se toma muy en serio el reciclaje. Los alemanes, que tienen una gran conciencia social, reciclan mucha más basura que el resto de los países europeos. Reciclan más del 70 por ciento de algunos materiales, incluyendo más del cuarenta por ciento del plástico. En Bavaria, un estado cercano a Baden Würtenberg, solo el uno por ciento de su basura va a los vertederos. Los turistas que visitan Alemania deben de reciclar como lo hacen los alemanes. En España la forma de reciclar es bastante parecida, sobre todo el color de los contenedores usados para reciclar. Pero en Alemania si pones materiales en contenedores equivocados puede que te llamen la atención. Por eso debemos de ser respetuosos y tener cuidado cuando tiremos la basura.
Los colores de los contenedores alemanes son los siguientes:
Para el papel se usa el azul y algunas veces el verde.
El plástico va en los contenedores verdes junto con los cartones de leche, latas y aluminio. El aluminio suele estar marcado con un punto verde como icono con dos flechas enfrentadas.
El vidrio se recoge en contenedores verdes. Sin embargo la mayoría de las botellas y el plástico son retornables, es decir que cuando se devuelve se paga entre O.30 y 0.50 céntimos de euro por botella. Se suelen devolver en grades cantidades no de botella en botella. Este sistema existía hace años en España.
Los materiales biodegradables, incluyendo el café y las bolsas de té, van en otro contenedor, normalmente de color marrón.
La basura (Müll) van en otro contenedor negro o gris, normalmente está vacío.
Gottlieb Daimler was a mechanical engineer that in 1880 left his formal employment and started to work in his own garage in Bad Cannstatt, near Stuttgart. He wanted to produce a light , fast, internal combustion engine, but he worked in so secretively, that the police raided his workshop for money-counterfeiting on the tip-off of a gardener. In 1883 he built his new engine, 264cc Grandfather Clock, in the first motorbike. A year later the world´s first motorboat, the Neckar, sailed on the river and his motorized carriage terrorized horses. Daimler moves to a factory on Seelberg in july 1887.
Mannheim invented his own engine and then he found Benz & Cia in 1883, the same year as Daimler. The world´s two oldest motor manufacturers eventually united in june 1926 as Daimler-Benz long after Daimler had died and Benz retired. The Mercedes name was introduced in 1902 to honor the daughter of early Austrian dealer Emil Jellinek.
