Lille, capital of the Nord region of northern France, believes in the virtues of selective sorting. To assure that its recycling efforts are successful, the city has appointed specialist French companies to develop high-tech solutions. As waste sorting in the city becomes more mechanized, refuse is now being collected by using refuse bins fitted with a silicon chip to aid in the collection and recycling process. The city of Lille has a population of 1 million residents.Suburban residents are now being supplied with two recycling bins--each with two compartments--manufactured by the French company Plastic Ominum (Paris). The first bin, which is blue, has one compartment for paper and cardboard and one for glass, plastic bottles, and other types of containers. The second bin, brown in color has one compartment for biodegradable waste and the other for non-recoverable waste.
