«PANT»

• In Norway, we collect all our empty bottles and return them to big machines and we call it “pant”• Whenever we give/”pant” a bottle, we get some

money. • From 1,- to 2,50 ,-• This is the same money

that we pay for the canor bottle, when we buythem in the stores.

GARBAGE RECYCLING

• We recycle food waste, paper, plastic and hazardous waste etc. separately • We have different containers for all of these• Our hazardous waste like paint, glue, batteries

and spray cans are delivered to own receptions in red boxes

GLASS AND METAL RECYCLING

• 90 % of our glass is recycled, and recycled glass can be used as reflexes in traffic signs, new glass and isolation in houses• We separate between colored and uncolored

glass

RECYCLING OF CARTONS

• In Norway we recycle our drinking cartons in a special way• We clean them, fold them and put them together • We send them to recycling

companies and they are made into envelopes and corrugated cardboard

RECYCLING OF FOOD WASTE

• We separate our food waste from the other garbage, and throw it in brown paper bags• The food is later going through a rotting

process and is turned into Biogas and electricity.

CLOTHES

• Norway has a major consume of clothes and throw away a lot of clothes that someone else maybe could use. We have an organization that collect used clothes and give them away/ sell them for a small amount of money to needy people. • In that way we don’t

have to throw them away
