3. WASTE (Introduction)
Waste is defined as unwanted and unusable materials and is regarded
as a substance which is of no use. Waste that we see in our
surroundings is also known as garbage. Garbage is mainly considered
as a solid waste that includes wastes from our houses (domestic
waste), wastes from schools, offices, etc (municipal wastes) and
wastes from industries and factories (industrial wastes).

Sources of waste can be broadly classified into four types:
Industrial, Commercial, Domestic, and Agricultural.
Industrial Waste
These are the wastes created in factories and industries. Most
industries dump their wastes in rivers and seas which causes a lot
of pollution.
Example: plastic, glass, etc.
Commercial Waste
Commercial wastes are produced in the schools, colleges, shops,
and offices.

6. Domestic Waste

Agricultural Waste
Various wastes produced in the agricultural field are known as

BIODEGRADABLE WASTE
Food waste, paper,clippings
leaves,human and animal waste dead
animal , dead plants etc.
Glass ,plastic, metallic
waste,cans,artificial rubber etc.

BIODEGRADABLE WASTE
A biodegradable material can be defined as a material which can be
decomposed by bacteria or other natural organisms and not be adding to
pollution.
Biodegradable wastes are such waste materials which are and can be
degraded by natural factors like microbes (e.g. bacteria, fungi and few more),
abiotic elements like temperature, UV, oxygen, etc.
●

9. NON-BIODEGRADABLE WASTE
A Non-Biodegradable material can be defined as a kind of substance which
cannot be broken down by natural organisms and acts as a source of pollution.
Unlike biodegradable wastes, non-biodegradable cannot be easily handled.
Non-biodegradable wastes are those who cannot be decomposed or dissolved
by natural agents. They remain on earth for thousands of years without any
degradation.

11. Recycling
Recycling means separating usable materials
from waste and converting them into new
products.
Paper can be recycled to make newspaper,
toilet paper,etc. Iron, copper, aluminium,
plastic and glass can also be recycled and
made into useful items.

Recycling protects the environment in
the followings ways:
a. It reduces the amount of waste.
b. It conserves our natural resources
like timber, water, iron etc.
c. It reduce pollution.
d. It saves energy .

METHODS OF RECYCLING WASTE :
● 1. Carry a cloth bag in place of plastic bag.
● 2. Compost biodegradable waste.
● 3. Use energy efficient light bulb.
● 4. Adopt eco friendly habitats.
● 5. Reduce usage of individual vehicles choose
carpooling.

RECYCLING OF WASTE
Recycling of waste product is very important as this process helps in
processing waste or used products into useful or new products.
1. It helps in controlling air, water, and land pollution.
2. It also uses less energy.
3. There are a number of items that can be recycled like paper,
plastic,glass etc.
4. It helps in conserving natural resources and conserving energy.
5. It helps in protecting the environment as it helps in reducing air,
water, and soil pollution.
