This photograph shows a screen showcasing the quantities of plastics oversorted and sent for recycling in a new "surtri" plastic waste centre in Epinal, northeastern France, on June 28, 2024. Yoghurt pots, food trays and coloured bottles of fizzy water: new types of waste that were previously rarely recycled can now be recycled once they have passed through France's second "surtri" centre in Epinal. In a building covering more than 4,000 m2, hundreds of crushed packaging items of all colours follow a long conveyor belt similar to a rollercoaster at a funfair. Along the way, they pass through optical sorting machines where they are classified and separated as they go. (Photo by Jean-Christophe VERHAEGEN / AFP)
