RECYCLING

Waste or rubbish is what we throw away every day. It includes everything from unwanted old cars to cigarette packets. As the amount of waste has grown rapidly all over the world and has started polluting the environment, time has come to think about it very seriously.

We cannot altogether get rid of our waste but a proper management of it can certainly reduce its quantity. If we think of burning, burying, recycling and thus reduce our waste, we can to a large extent save our environment. Our garbage consists of various kinds of things some are burnable and some are recyclable. In some countries, burnable waste is destroyed by incinerators. The non-burnable garbage is melted and refabricated. Some rubbish is not rubbish at all. For example, most textiles, glass, metal, paper and cardboard can be recycled. Some kinds of waste can be used as fuel. We can use and have been using vegetable waste to make compost to improve our soil.

Recycling mainly involves processing materials so that they can be used as raw materials for making other things. They may be used to produce the same product, for example, broken pieces of glass can be made into new glass. Or they may be very different, for example, iron and steel from cans and cars can be re-smelted to make electric poles and rods.

The only problem then is to find authorities to make it easy to reuse what we throw away. This is because we cannot recycle paper, or metal ourselves. It is a big procedure. In many countries it is now quite normal to collect old bottles and them. Again many manufacturers are now designing their containers and packaging in such a way that they are easy to recycle. Some companies are using biodegradable wrappers. More and more authorities should come forward to promote greater recycling and changes in consumption patterns to reduce the amount of rubbish we produce and help people conserve the environment.
