Where do you throw Easter egg paper? And the surprise container?

Whether dark, white or milk: Easter egg chocolate is loved by everyone, adults and children. After enjoying it, however, it is essential to recycle the packaging correctly. But where to dispose of them properly? The first step to understand this is to check the type of material the casing is made of. In most cases, the eggs are covered in brightly colored plastic (made of propylene) casings.

So don’t be fooled by those who call it Easter egg “paper”. It should be thrown into the plastic waste, just like the oval container that contains the surprise and the egg jar.

Different is the case of Easter eggs wrapped in aluminum and colored fabric wrappings, which must be placed respectively in the metal container, together with the aluminum and steel packaging, and in the undifferentiated waste. Even the ribbons and ties used to close the packages should be thrown into the dry waste.

However, as regards the card with the brand and the ingredients, it should be thrown among the paper. And if you have any doubts about how to properly dispose of waste, there are several applications including the very useful one Junkers. For those who don’t know it, it is a revolutionary and intuitive app: just scan the barcode printed on the packaging or write the type of waste to know where to throw it.

Before getting rid of the packaging, the surprise capsule and the Easter egg base, think about transforming them into something else. With a little imagination, in fact, it is possible to create a myriad of things. Any examples? With the wrapping you can make kites and wrapping paper, while you can reuse the surprise holder to create maracas, containers for modeling clay or candle holders
