Recycling of paper, plastic, glass etc. reduces emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons, that contribute to global climate change.
Recycling just one glass bottle saves enough energy to light a 100 watt light bulb for four hours.
Manufacturing with recycled aluminum cans uses 95 percent less energy than creating the same amount of aluminum with bauxite.
Calculated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions saved due to recycling were as much as 8 tonnes of CO2 equivalent for 1 ton of aluminium cans and aluminium foil collected for recycling.
The avoided GHG emissions from the recovery of high frequency materials such as LDPE, PET, textiles and steel cans are also notable.
In general, reusing plastics saves nearly 40 % GHG emissions compared to using virgin plastic. Even recycling of paper saved half a ton of CO2 equivalent GHGs per ton of recycled paper.
Composting and recycling rates in California state of America are at about 48%. The state hosts 4,300 recycling and reuse establishments that employ over 84,000 people.
The products made from recovered material can either serve the same purpose (e.g. from bottle to bottle) or fall into a different category of application than the primary product (e.g. from glass to fibre).
India still does not recycle 40 % of its plastics. The plastics mixed with wet wastes also keep india from composting.

Thanks for the great post you posted. I like the way you describe the unique content. The points you raise are valid and reasonable. If any of the final year students are looking for the renewable energy projects
ReplyDeleteWow, that is quite informative. I like this article very much. The content was good. If any of the engineering students are looking for a projects for renewable energy projects, I found this site and they are providing the best service to the engineering students regarding the projects renewable energy projects
