Recycling is defined as the process of changing waste materials into new products to prevent waste and reduce the consumption of raw materials. It reduces energy usage, air and water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions compared to plastic production. Recycling is a key part of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" hierarchy. Materials that can be recycled include glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics. The recycling process involves bringing materials to a collection center where they are sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed for use in manufacturing new materials. Recycling is part of an overall waste treatment strategy called the three R's: reduce, reuse, and recycle

Recycling

by: Betty Yii Li Hee

Definition

Recyclingis a process to
changewastematerials into new products to
prevent waste of potentially useful materials,
reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials,
reduceenergyusage, reduce air pollution
(fromincineration) and water pollution
(fromlandfilling) by reducing the need for
"conventional" waste disposal, and
lowergreenhouse gas emissions as compared
to plastic production.

Recycling is a key component of modern waste


reduction and is the third component of the
"Reduce,Reuseand Recycle"waste hierarchy.

Material recycling

Include many kinds of glass , paper , metal ,


plastic , textiles and electronics.

Although similar in effect ,the composting or


other reuse of biodegradable waste-such as
food or garden waste-is not typically considered
recycling.

Recycling process

Materials to be recycled are either brought to a


collection center , then sorted , cleaned and
reprocessed into new materials bound for
manufacturing.

How do you recycle?

Recycling is one of the alternatives used in


reducing the volume of solid waste . This
process consists of re-using materials that were
discarded , and still are apt to develop other
products or rework them.

Recycling part of a strategy of waste


treatment called The Three Rs Reduce : regroups all aspects of waste
reduction
Reuse : groups together the producers
used to give a product already used a
new use.
Recycling : the process of treatment for
which must go through the waste by
recycling.

There are three major divisions of recycling


techniques: chemical , mechanical and
organic

Recycling-chemical- a chemical reaction used


for the treatment of waste , eg to remove
certain components.

Recyling mechanical- is the processing of


waste with the help of a machine , for
example , a waste grinder.

Recycling-organic-is , after fermentation , to


produce fertilisers and fuels such as biogas.

For domestic source separation using


containers of different colours located in
urban or rural:

Yellow containers (containers) must be


deposited in it all kinds of lightweight
containers such as plastic containers( bottles ,
jars , bags , trays , etc) cans (beverages ,
canned goods , etc)

Blue containers (paper and cardboard):In this


container must be disposed of cartons(boxes ,
trays , etc) as well as newspapers , magazines ,
wrapping paper , advertising , etc. It is
advisable to fold the boxes so that takes up
minimal space inside the container.

Green container (glass) are deposited in this


container glass containers.

Brown container (organic) are deposited in the


other waste that do not fit in the other groups ,
mainly biodegradable.

Benefits of recycling

Conserve resources for the future.

Prevent emissions of many greenhouse gases and water


pollutants.

Save energy.

Supply valuable raw materials to industry.

Create jobs.

Stimulate the development of greener technologies.

Reduce the need for new landfills and incinerators.
