Doing your bit to prevent this WASTE,
Ask yourself if you really need it.
The cost both environmental and economic is serious!
The Environmental Cost:
To refuse unsolicited advertising in your letter-box is
to save an average of 40 kg of paper per year for each household.
40 kg of leaflets and flyers etc.
This 40 kg of paper requires
- 20 to 40 kg of wood,
- 200 to 600 liters of water,
- 120 to 240 kWh of electricity,
- ink with heavy metals,
- additives and dyes.
The Economic Cost:
A combined minimum cost of 62 euros, without distribution,
invoiced directly to you the consumer at the point of purchase. YOU PAY ON
THE PRICE OF THE ITEMS YOU BUY.
Once this advertising has been read or often not-read , it is necessary to add
the cost of the treatment: collection, transformation or incineration
(approximately 4 euros per household), paid for through various taxes and
charges.
