- 6. Things we found • Secondly we found that items like broken glasses ,metals , clothes and electronic parts which cannot be reused so they want to be modified and produced new product •This process is called RECYCLE
- 7. Things we found •Thirdly, we found the items like food ,used cooking oil, wooden blocks, paper, smelly stuff like contaminated food which is neither reused nor recycled. •So, it is used to conversion of non-recyclable waste materials into usable heat, electricity named ENERGY RECOVERY
- 8. Things we found •Why generate waste in huge amounts? • We can use of optimum utilization of minimum resources, like reading paper in online, reduction of paper waste , with technology as a substitute. • This is REDUCTION of waste from resources
- 9. Things we found •Few things that are neither decomposable nor reusable, in any manner should be handled separately. • They consist of hazardous elements and hence should be decomposed safely. •HAZARDOUS : Substances unsafe to use that are shipped, transported to or brought from the country of origin for dumping or disposal.
- 10. WASTE HIERARCHY • Three R’s for management of waste: •REDUCE •REUSE •RECYCLE & •ENERGY RECOVERY
