• When you arrive at your destination, locate the nearest recycling containers and remember: plastic containers like our creams, gels and shampoo go to the yellow container, as well as briks and cans. While the paper and cardboard to the blue.

• When you are on the beach or in the mountains, never leave waste behind.. Store the products consumed throughout the day and deposit them later in the corresponding container or bin.

• If the accommodation where you are spending your holidays does not have a bin for different types of waste, there is no excuse! Put a couple of bags somewhere, they hardly take up space and so you can continue recycling at home.
