Incineration without
energy recovery
Disposal methods
Recycling
Classic recycling
Termic processes with energy recovery (incineration)
Biological processes
WASTE MANAGEMENT
MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
Take-away areas (dustbins carried by special company)
Attendance area (for recycling) – the most often
- Collecting area
- recycled waste
- cheating on laws
Deposit (exchange waste for money)

glues, sprays …
BIOWASTE
Pathogens
Toxic chemical substances
Old FARMACEUTICALS to the farmacy
Risky substances

BIOWASTE
Type of waste % of degradable biowaste
Paper and booards 100

Organic waste 100
Clothes 75
Waste from markets 75
Mixed municipal waste 45
STEAL → prison
BEGGING → the last option where you don´t want to get
GO TO NATURE → loneliness, far, seasonal dependent
(pick the fruits, collect the plants, hunt the animals)
BUSKING → need to have a skills and equipments
DUMPSTERING → eco, social, adrenalin, easy
SWAPPING → loose something else
RECYCLING
ALONE IN THE CITY
VERY VERY HUNGRY
But NO MONEY
DUMPSTERING
You threw it away => property of the municipality
Fains for stealing or devaluing waste
Human values ?
Right to have food OR Right to have property ???

Projects - conclusions
• PREVENTION better than solving the
CONSEQUENCES → DO NOT WASTE
• Recycling (down- and up-cycling) PREFERRED
but just when it is WORTH IT
• INCINERATION preferred over LANDFILLING
CONCLUSIONS
CRITICAL THINKING
BE CRITICAL
• Plastic or paper bags ?
• Recycling of biowaste and metals ?
• Using of solar panels ?
• Nuclear energy ?
• Is it really ECO / BIO ?
LCA (Life Cycle Assessmet)
BE RESPONSIBLE
• Do you also have the newest version of iPhone?
• Have you ever tried to dumpster your own trash bin?
• Have you ever tried to drink water from your toilet?
• Have you ever thought about cooperating on eco
project with your parents?
