Or : Waste separation, a global language!
Peer comment(s):

agree Russell Jones : Even though the term universally used in the UK is "recycling", waste separation is so much more acceptable than separated waste. I agree with your response below but popular language is not always logical!

Actually thesame as in Italian , but "recycling" should be a later process than "separating", don't you think so? In other words: we separate, special plants will recycle what we 've separated. Or am I wrong? // you're right, the same in Italian. Thanks!!
agree JudyK : Although what you say about the two processes is right, in the UK we still refer to what we do in our homes as "recycling" (i.e. putting the waste into recycling bins).

Thanks Judy. Yes, after all we are the ones who are supposed to "start" the process!! :)

chiarimento

ma il leaflet è scritto in tante lingue e si rivolte quindi a tutti (stranieri, immigrati etc.) oppure è uno slogan qualsiasi?

perchè global language, nel primo caso non mi sembra molto adatto, nel senso che in questo caso il leaflet, parlerebbe letteralmente le diverse lingue...
