Selective waste collection
"The use of the ColorADD code will contribute for the habit of separating packaging waste to increasingly become a universal gesture. Because recycling is important whatever color each person sees the world with, Sociedade Ponto Verde will include the ColorADD code in its communication materials, such as brochures and signposting."
