A Spaniard explains how much he earns per day for collecting bottles in Finland: "There is money everywhere"

Finland is a true example to follow in terms of waste management and environmental protection. With a progressive approach and a strong recycling infrastructure, Finland has managed to achieve high recycling rates and significantly reduce its impact on the planet. In addition, citizens are encouraged to do so.

The tiktoker 1000experiencias has explained in a viral TikTok video how it is possible to earn money thanks to the recycling of bottles. As he himself recounts, it is as simple as picking up the bottles found lying on the street and recycling them. According to him, it is so exaggerated that it is possible to find money everywhere.

The young man, who finds several in a short time, comments that each bottle has a certain return value, with some bottles that can be worth up to 40 cents and others 20 cents.

The idea behind this system in Finland is to encourage recycling and environmental responsibility. Not only is it good for the environment, but it also provides a small financial incentive for people who participate in recycling.

"Imagine if I take a bike and go around the city," he proposes in the video, preliminary calculations in hand, the influencer calculates that he could easily obtain between 20 and 30 euros in a collection day.

The video has already generated numerous comments and responses, with many followers expressing their amazement at the Finnish bottle return system and their interest in the young man riding his bike to raise money.

In addition, other users have recalled that "in many cities in Germany people leave them next to the bin for those who need it." Others, on the other hand, have agreed that in Spain it would not be possible to have this recycling system.
