What is recycling ?
Recycling
is one of the methods of
environmental protection. It
reduces the consumption of
natural resources and reduces
waste production.
Advantages and disadvantages of recycling
Recycling waste is a series invaluable
advantages such as saving of storage facility
of waste, saving energy, water, oil, coal, iron,
reduce the amount of cut trees (recycled
paper), a significant reduction in
air pollution,or reduction of industrial waste,
and most importantly, to minimize
degradation of the landscape
Disadvantages
However, besides these
significant advantages
there are also
disadvantages of
recycling.The materials
coming from recycling are
less durable and less
resistant for high
temperatures.
.
What is suitable for recycling ??
Glass (bottles and jars)
Paper and cardboard
Plastics
Organic waste
Aluminium cans
Steel
Batteries
Clothing
Types of recycling
Chemical recycling - includes processes where used waste materials
are processed into materials about other of physico – chemical
Energy recycling includes not only the burning of waste, but also the
production from waste solid, liquid and gaseous fuels and
processing them into insulation material - that is, chemical recycling
Feedstock recycling is the process of processing waste materials and
products to form the raw materials from which these materials and
products have been produced
Organic recycling meant by treatment oxygen, including composting
or non-oxygen that biodegrade
Forms of recycling
We can distinguish three forms of recycling:
• Reopened apply - repeated apply material or product for
the same purpose.
• Further apply - use of waste for new applications after
proper processing of physical, chemical or biological.
• Reopened utilization - recovery of chemical waste from
the trash and re-introducing them into production.
Bins
Separation of waste reduces the amount of waste going to landfill.
Segregated waste material should be throw to colorful containers.
Paper – blue containers
• Newspapers, magazines
• Books, notebooks
• Office paper
• Cardboard
Plastic – yellow containers
• Bottles
• Plastic nut
• Plastic bags
Aluminum – red containers
• Cans
• Small scrap
Clear glass – white containers
• Clear jars
• Clear glass bottles
Colored glass – green containers
• Colored glass bottles
Recycling in Poland
In Poland every year is created about 30
million of tons of waste, but only a small
percentage is used for recycling. The
reason is the lack of segregated waste,
and companies that will deal with them .
It is necessary to change this state of
affairs, because of the shrinking
resources of raw materials and energy
gets more expensive. Recycling reduces
the amount of waste and their disposal
costs (storage), also is beneficial for the
economy, environment and society.
Relieves the landfill, reduces the amount
of waste polluting the environment. By
recycling protect natural wealth,
including those non-renewable, save the
energy needed to produce and create
new jobs what in our country is a
particular advantage.
Second hand.
In the community at certain times and places useless
and damaged electronic equipment are collected.
You can also meet a the large containers for old
clothes.
Recycling in our community
In our community we carry out many actions which aim to increase the
environmental protection. In our school we collect corks from the
bottles, all kinds of batteries and waste paper. People in own
homes segregate rubbish in special containers on fractions of dry
and wet.
Our school tries to be ecological school, so recently a bin for
segregation waste was bought . We also organized a
specialistic containers for used batteries which are collected
by a selected company from our building.
Thank you
for your
