What is recycling ?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..

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 

We can distinguish three forms of recycling:We can distinguish three forms of recycling:• Reopened apply - repeated apply material or product for Reopened apply - repeated apply material or product for

the same purpose.the same purpose.• Further apply - use of waste for new applications after Further apply - use of waste for new applications after

proper processing of physical, chemical or biological.proper processing of physical, chemical or biological.• Reopened utilization - recovery of chemical waste from Reopened utilization - recovery of chemical waste from

the trash and re-introducing them into production.the trash and re-introducing them into production.

Separation of waste reduces the amount of waste going to landfill.

Segregated waste material should be throw to colorful containers.

Paper – blue containers

Plastic – yellow containers Plastic – yellow containers • BottlesBottles• Plastic nutPlastic nut• Plastic bagsPlastic bags

Aluminum – red containers• Cans• Small scrap

Clear glass – white containers• Clear jars• Clear glass bottles

Colored glass – green containersColored glass – green containers• Colored glass bottlesColored glass bottles

Recycling in PolandRecycling 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.

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.
