With One Simple “Cliiink” You and Monaco are Saving the Planet

Cliiink – can you hear it? That is the sound of your glass bottle going into the recycling bin in Monaco. Do you know that you just made an important step in saving the Planet? You will have just made a very powerful and serious step to preserve the environment for the children of the future, because that bottle typically would take literally thousands of years to decompose naturally. That would be very bad news indeed if it were not for the good news that glass is 100% recyclable. So, our role in this process, as residents or citizens of the Principality, is to put our used glass containers in the recycling bins. That’s it – job done, just put those glass containers in the right bin and listen for the Cliiink. Save nature and the glass will be made perfectly usable again.

If that were not enough in terms of news on the good side, how about if when you make that important recycling gesture there is a “double whammy” bonus and your gesture is matched by a donation to charity.

That is exactly the innovative program that Marie-Pierre Gramaglia, Government Advisor and Minister of Equipment, Environment and Urbanism is announcing. The Minister called a high-profile meeting and press conference to start the drum roll.
She reminded us how important it is to make a dent in the production of green-house gases. Waste contributes a material part to greenhouse gas production – so when we take intelligent steps to reduce waste we reduce harmful green-house gases. And the Minister makes the point it takes a lot of energy to produce glass so when we recycle glass we save energy. And finally, there are important goals established to save the planet, and in particular goals established between now and 2030. By helping implement Cliiink we are all playing our part.

Cliiink is very special because when your glass bottle or container drops into the recycling bin you will be triggering donations to charity. How is that? It’s all very simple and yet effective aided by some high-tech magic. Cliiink will “know” you are helping. First, you enrol in the program.

That means when you go to recycle, either with a smart-phone or a magnetic card, the recycling bin registers your arrival. Then when you drop your glass into the bin – more high-tech wizardry and you are credited points. One point for every glass container you drop in the bin. There are only a few “glassy-like” things that you should not put in the bins like mirrors and light-bulbs.
