wich resources are recyclables? |
|
Answer» Some examples ofrecyclable resourcesare newspapers, cardboard, office paper and glass. Some less commonly knownrecyclable resourcesare bricks, asphalt, concrete, oil and sand. all the metals and substances which are used as raw material for the production of finished goods are recycled eg: wooden, iron, aluminium,copper, gold and silver,e.t.c., natural resources are recyclables. for example: water, oil, sand, newspaper wood, gold etc. almost all materials obtained from the Earth's crust can be recycled. for an example: metals. Some examples ofrecyclable resourcesare newspapers, cardboard, office paper and glass. Some less commonly knownrecyclable resourcesare bricks, asphalt, concrete, oil and sand. Resource recoveryis usingwastesas an input material to create valuable products as new outputs. The aim is to reduce the amount of waste generated, therefore reducing the need forlandfillspace and also extracting maximum value from waste. Resource recovery delays the need to useraw materialsin the manufacturing process. Materials found inmunicipal solid wastecan be used to make new products.Plastic,paper,aluminium,glassandmetalare examples of where value can be found in waste. Resource recovery goes further than just themanagement of waste.Life-cycle analysis(LCA) can be used to compare the resource recovery potential of different treatment technologies. Improvements to administration,source separationand collection,reuseandrecyclingare important. For example, organic materials can be treated withanaerobic digestionand turned into energy,compostorfertilizer. Resource recovery can also be an aim in the context ofsanitation. Here, the term refers to approaches to recover the resources that are contained inwastewaterandhuman excreta(urine and feces). The term "toilet resources" has come into use recently.[1]Those resources include: nutrients (nitrogenandphosphorus), organic matter, energy and water. This concept is also referred to asecological sanitation. Separation of waste flows can help make resource recovery simpler. Examples include keeping urine separate from feces (as inurine diversiontoilets) and keepinggreywaterandblackwaterseparate in municipal wastewater systems. |
