Recycle with Circle U. - Find out how our household waste is recycled with Circle U.
Xiaofeng Guo, the Circle U. Climate Chair at Université Paris Cité, is tackling a blind spot in our trash bins: what happens to the waste we don’t sort? Many people think that only glass and plastic have a second life… but so-called ‘household’ waste is also recycled – by incineration. In less than 10 minutes, we’ll explain how our household waste produces energy!
Join us from 4pm to 4.30pm on the Circle U. YouTube channel!
