Waste Project By Ali

Recycling is the process in which materials are renewed. Some can consider it the future of waste management because a lot of waste is buried under the ground, damaging the ground while other waste is burned which again leads to air pollution. Recycling has many benefits that will be discussed later.

Humans have always recycled. Whoever it was only done with simple things like melting metals to create something different with the metal. It seemed impossible to do anything with raw waste. I believe there was a time people would laugh at you if you spoke about recycling a waste because of this movie, with a car powered by waste from bins on the street and everybody laughed at the owner of the car because he was supposed to be crazy.

Benefits

As mentioned above recycling has many benefits. the benefits of recycling written in bullet points;

· The biggest benefit is the fact that recycling has very low to no waste after the process. Ideally all parts of a used product are used for a new one but that is not always possible.

· Production of products like pens for example is a lot cheaper because there no need to import any colored plastic. The necessary materials are found in the used products saving companies loads of money.

· Recycling does the environment a good favor too. There is little to no air, soil, or water pollution.

· It saves energy.

Since recycling has this many advantages you might think why isn’t it used all over the world? That is because recycling is expensive. Many third world countries do not have enough money for that. Everything in landfills needs to be separated and transported a dedicated factory where that material

is processed. Luckly many countries already recycle on a smaller scale, the Netherlands has separated bins for glass and paper however the rest is mixed and too many citizens do not make use of this system and decide to dump everything in one bag with the rest. The problem is in the people most of the time with global issues. But Australia for example has trucks picking up waste that gets separated an then recycled. Here the government or funded companies like holleman recycling are completely in charge of recycling process and I think they should charge the people through taxes for the great service.

How is it done?

many materials can be recycled. Perhaps not immediately, but after a product is taken apart. Materials like paper or metal are recycled much faster because they do not require any taking apart. Products like phones or washing machines are more difficult. Firstly, the metals should be taken out as well as the electronical components. Every part goes through another process. Metals are melted, while papers are deinked and used again. Glass bottles for example could only need cleaning before they can be used again if not it can always be melted as well. So actually everything can be recycled as long as its components are separated.
