2. Introduction
Convert (waste) into reusable material.
Return (material) to previous stage in
cyclic process.
Processing used material into new product.
Reduce energy usage ,reduce air & water
pollution, lower emission of green house
gases.
Recyclable material :-glass, paper ,metal
and electronics
3. Recycling
:-creating original products again.eg:-
office paper to office paper.
Not cost effective hence
reusing
is predominantly
made.
Getting salvage
:-certain material with intrinsic
value are extracted.
eg :- lead – car battery ,gold
from computers.
4. History
Recorded in 400 B.C. by Plato.
Archeological study stated scarce availability of
raw materials made them reuse it.
Europe :Pre industrial times:-evidence and bronze
being reused.
Britain :- dust and ash collected from coal burning
was used as base material for brick making.
5. Government mandated
demand for companies
Forced to include recycling in their
operation.
Minimum recycling content
mandates .
Utilization rates.
Recycled product labeling
6. process
o Collection.
Drop off centers.
Buy back centers.
Curbside collection.
o Sorting.
cleaned ,reprocessed
into
new materials.
7. Common recyclables
CONCRETE AGGREGATE.
put in crushing machine with
asphalt , brick, dirt and rocks.
Used as gravel for new
construction.
If free of contaminants even used
for new concrete creation
8. batteries
Ordinary batteries:-
Since toxic content
available was hard to
handle.
Lead acid batteries:-
recycling rate 90%.
Contain 80% of
recycled material
9. Biodegradable waste
Recycled by breaking down waste material
by aerobic bacteria.
Can be done in house hold scale also.
Municipal house collection programs.
10. FERROUS METALS AND NON
FERROUS METALS
Steel :- Aluminum:-
Any grade was most efficient and
recycled into top widely-recycled
quality new model . material
Recycling
aluminium saves
95% of the energy
cost of processing
new aluminium.
11. paper
Recycled by combining it with new pulp.
Quality decreases with each time.
Paper coated with plastic, aluminium
foil ,wax are not recyclable .pasted or
gummed paper not recyclable.
13. conclusion
Technical university of Denmark.
83% of cases recycling is most efficient way of
disposal of house hold wastes.
Without recycling.
Zinc would run out in 2037.
Indium and hafnium would run out in 2017
Terbium gone before 2012
Reduce carbon emission by 90%.
Saves energy ,Saves money ,saves trees.
