Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic objects and particles (e.g. plastic bottles, bags and microbeads) in the Earth’s environment that adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat, and humans. Plastics that act as pollutants are categorized into micro-, meso-, or macro debris, based on size.
What is Recycling?
• Recycling is a process in which waste materials are treated in a way that they can be used again. • Recycling is a key component of modern waste management and is the third component of the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” waste hierarchy. • Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics. • Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing.
As per a recent report by Assocham-Ckinetics, India is the fifth largest e-waste producer and its electronics-waste generation is expected to yearly develop at 30% to contact 5.2 million metric tons (MT) per annum by 2020 as against the present level of 1.8 million metric tons. Hence you can see huge opportunities in e-waste recycling business.
The recycling of e-waste is both ecologically desirable and necessary. It promotes reuse of recoverable materials, thereby reducing their rate of extraction. However, resource recovery from e-waste involves convoluted chemical processes with potentially hazardous by-products, so the regulation of e-waste recycling activities is imperative.
1)Processes Of Recycling : Collection The first step required for recycling is collecting recyclable materials from communities. Families who recycle items such as paper, bottles and cans, place the items in recycling collection bins. These bins usually have the recycling symbol on them.Processing : The step involves processing the recyclable materials. This includes sorting the materials into groups, cleaning them and getting them ready to be sold to manufacturers who will turn the materials into new products.
2)Manufacturing : Manufacturing is an important step in the recycling process. Many items you may see every day are made from recycled materials. Newspapers, paper towels, office paper, plastic bottles and aluminum cans are not only made of recycled materials, but they can also be recycled again.
3) Purchasing : The last step, but certainly not the least, involves the purchasing of recycled products. When consumers purchase products that have been made with post consumer material the recycling process has been completed and can then be repeated. If you have the choice to purchase a product made from recycled materials, instead of one that was not, what do you think you should do? It takes education and awareness to remember to recycle and purchase recycled products.
