Es ist Zeitverschwendung: Befürworter drängen Massachusetts dazu, sich anderen Staaten anzuschließen, die Haushaltsfarben recyceln

Nach Angaben von Boston 25 News haben Befürworter in Massachusetts die Bundesregierung aufgefordert, Programme zur Rückgabe und zum Recycling von Haushaltsfarben einzuführen. Derzeit wird in dem Bundesstaat nur 5 Prozent der verwendeten Farbe recycelt, verglichen mit anderen Bundesstaaten wie Oregon, wo 61 Prozent recycelt werden.

Die Recycling-Programme für Haushaltsfarben sind in anderen Staaten bereits weit verbreitet und haben sich als erfolgreiche Lösung erwiesen. Befürworter argumentieren, dass die Einführung ähnlicher Programme in Massachusetts sowohl wirtschaftliche als auch Umweltvorteile bringen könnte.

Eine Studie des Product Stewardship Institute of Boston ergab, dass die Einführung eines Rückgabe- und Recyclingsystems für Haushaltsfarben in Massachusetts bis zu 28 Millionen US-Dollar einsparen könnte. Dies könnte auch dazu beitragen, die Umweltbelastung durch nicht recycelte Farbe zu reduzieren.

Befürworter fordern die Regierung des Bundesstaates dringend auf, Maßnahmen zu ergreifen, um Haushaltsfarben effizienter zu recyceln und die Umweltbelastung zu verringern.
