Within the electoral contest of the year 2024, it is estimated that between 25,000 and 30,000 tons of plastic, paper and adhesives will be generated that will become garbage due to the diffusion of candidates for popular election positions in the streets of Mexico City. The dirty war between political parties prevents street advertising from being valid, even for up to one day, removing opposition faces to place candidates of their color or coalition. It is expected that the visual and physical pollution residues from political parties promoting candidates to society will be removed in the month of May by the City's Secretariat of Works and Services, which will be processed to make fuel. .
