The theme of sustainability continues to gain space and force in different scenarios of our society. What once seemed so far away, today touches us closely, given that the cause and solution to these problems are ourselves, applying some precautions at home, at work, at school but also in the CrossFit® box.
These scenarios produce many types of waste, which we will then, theoretically, have to dispose of correctly.
But is this really the reality?
It is necessary, first of all, understand what actually happens to the waste we produce, what their disposal path is and if there are any other possibilities for reuse, since there are many companies that currently invest in a "second life"To waste materials.
An example? The floor of your beloved boxes! Did you know it's made from recycled tire dust?
Well, properly dispose of waste it is a form of empathy, of expressing care for the collective good, it is an exercise of citizenship, because when we make the choice of sustainability, we are truly contributing to the preservation of our planet!
