Easter, where to throw away the packaging of the dove and the chocolate egg

Find out how to properly dispose of Easter egg and dove paper after the holidays and reduce your impact on the environment

ROME – On Sunday we will finally unwrap our chocolate eggs and eat the long-awaited dove.But once the party is over, we will find ourselves having to face the dilemma of what to do with the decorative paper that wrapped both the eggs and the dove.And in an increasingly sustainability-oriented world, it is important to know the options available to properly dispose of this paper and reduce our impact on the environment.

WHERE TO THROW THE EASTER COLOMB PACKAGE

“The packaging of the dove is made up of different materials, which must be managed specifically.Let's see how to do it correctly", explains Comieco, which helps us understand where to best dispose of the leftovers of the dessert we purchased.

WHERE DO YOU THROW THE CHOCOLATE EGG 'PAPER'

We have always called it 'paper', but upon closer inspection it is not really paper of cellulose origin.The external packaging of the Easter egg that we bought at the supermarket is made of plastic and therefore must be recycled in the separate plastic collection.“Are you not sure? - writes Comieco - Try crumpling it:if it resumes its original shape it is undoubtedly plastic.The inside of the package is often silver:Don't worry, it goes in the plastic anyway.The case is different non-woven fabric packaging (or simple fabric) which often contain the most refined or artisanal Easter eggs. This material cannot be recycled:if you decide to get rid of it, throw it in the unsorted waste.Otherwise, keep it:it may be useful.
