Contarina’s success is a combination of a variety of factors, including good separation at source, waste reduction incentives via a pay-as-you-throw system, transparency and efficiency, and a commitment to continuously improving the system, writes ClickGreen. 

Contarina has a goal of 96.7% recycling by 2022.
