1-800-Recycling.com, an interactive nationwide website dedicated to enhancing and democratizing the consumer recycling experience, currently features an article on its blog about the questionable lack of recycling bins in Copenhagen.
The article, titled “Elusive Recycling in Copenhagen,” is actually 1-800-Recycling.com’s newest writer Evan Kopelson’s observations about the Danish city from his time there covering the COP15 Climate Conference. Copenhagen set a goal to become the first Carbon Neutral Capital City by 2015, but while there, Kopelson found recycling bins noticeable by their absence.
In the article, Kopelson goes on to share that a closer and deeper look revealed how Copenhagen is indeed a model city in terms of carbon footprint, and attitudes there toward recycling are different.
“We’re excited to continue growing the global scope of our blog with terrific and committed writers such as Evan,” said John S. Shegerian, Chairman and CEO of Electronic Recyclers International (ERI), the nation’s leading recycler of electronics and e-waste, and parent company of 1-800-Recycling.com. “We are a one-stop on-line recycling resource, but going beyond that, we aim to report from the front lines of the green movement, much as Evan has done with this international story. We can all learn from what other countries are doing – right and wrong.”
