Transcript: Introduction to Recycling Types of Recyclable Materials PowerPoint Presentation on Recycling What is Recycling? Recycling is the process of collecting, processing, and repurposing materials that would otherwise be discarded as waste. It reduces the need for raw materials and decreases pollution levels associated with production. Why Recycling Matters Paper Plastics Recycling conserves energy, reduces landfill waste, and mitigates environmental degradation. It plays a vital role in combating climate change while promoting a circular economy. Paper constitutes one of the most widely recycled materials, primarily derived from wood pulp. Recycling paper reduces the need for virgin timber and minimizes energy usage during production, contributing to forest conservation and reducing landfill waste. Plastics are versatile and widely used but pose significant environmental challenges. Recycling plastics not only saves energy but also reduces pollution; nearly 30% of plastic waste can be efficiently recycled through proper sorting and collection methods. A Brief History The concept of recycling dates back to ancient civilizations where materials like metals were melted down and reused. Modern recycling efforts began in the 1970s as environmental awareness grew. Metals Glass Metals, including aluminum and steel, are infinitely recyclable without losing quality. Recycling metals saves substantial energy—about 95% for aluminum—and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to producing new metals. Glass is 100% recyclable and can be reused indefinitely without loss of purity or quality. Recycling glass decreases energy consumption and cuts down on landfill waste; it takes 50% less energy to recycle glass than to create new glass from raw materials. E-waste E-waste includes discarded electronic appliances that contain hazardous materials yet are often recyclable. Proper recycling of e-waste recovers valuable metals and prevents toxic chemicals from contaminating the ecosystem. The Recycling Process Collection The collection phase involves gathering recyclable materials from various sources, including households, businesses, and public recycling bins. Effective collection is essential for ensuring a steady supply of materials for processing and recycling operations. Sorting Understanding the Importance and Processes of Recycling Processing During processing, sorted materials are cleaned and transformed into raw materials for manufacturing. This involves shredding, melting, or pulping, depending on the material type, facilitating the production of new products from recycled content. Sorting is the process of separating collected recyclables based on material type, such as plastic, glass, and paper. This crucial step determines the efficiency and effectiveness of subsequent recycling processes by removing contaminants and ensuring quality. Remanufacturing Remanufacturing is the final stage where processed raw materials are used to create new products. This process not only conserves natural resources but also significantly reduces energy consumption compared to using virgin materials, showcasing recycling's sustainability benefits. The Benefits of Recycling Economic Advantages Environmental Impact Recycling generates economic benefits by creating jobs, stimulating investments, and fostering innovation. The recycling industry contributes billions to the economy each year. Recycling reduces waste sent to landfills and conserves natural resources. It lowers greenhouse gas emissions, helping combat climate change and protect ecosystems. Community Benefits Sustainable Practices Recycling enhances community pride and promotes active participation in sustainability. Effective recycling programs can lead to cleaner neighborhoods and a healthier public. Recycling promotes sustainable practices by encouraging responsible consumption habits. It supports circular economy initiatives that aim to minimize waste and maximize resource use.

Transcript: Recycling Landfills Are you a NIMBY type of person? NIMBY stands for "Not In My Back Yard"! Where Does Trash Go? Incinerators Incinerators means A furnace for burning garbage. Landfills vs. Incinerators What do YOU think? Nature Runoff Great Pacific Trash Patch How long will litter last in the ocean? It Takes..... Aluminum Can- 200-500 years Glass- 1-2 million years Plastic Bottles- 450 years How can we help? By Recycling! We can recycle up to about 75% of our total trash We recycle about 32.5% of our trash in America currently And 5% in Saudi Arabia. What is Recycling? Recycling is when you take old materials and break them down so they can be used to make new materials Glass Broken down Up to 70% of glass can be made from recycled glass Melted with new material Metal Melted down, like glass Made into blocks called ingots Each ingot is made up of 1.6 MILLION drink cans! Ingots are used to make new cans Unlike other recyclables, aluminum can be used over and over again Plastic Not easy to recycle Many different types Often involves high-energy chemical process What can be recycled? Paper Shredded and mixed with water to make pulp Made into paper Paper can only be recycled about seven times. Other Recyclable Things Start small. Think Big! We will recycle Aluminum Cans, Plastic bottles, glass and paper Nature's original way to recycle Remember, YOU can go out and MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Use less Re-use Recycling bins What else? Batteries Carbon emissions What Can YOU do? If any little part of this big system fails, the impacts could be catastrophic What parts could fail and how woud they impact the environment? So, what's wrong with landfills? Money! Think of all the heavy machinery used to run a land fill, and how much fossil fuels they burn The landfill itself emits gasses, including carbon dioxide and methane However, methane gas can be captured and used as an energy source. Any runoff water has to be treated; think of all the energy that takes! We can change the world! Ink Cartridges Extreme Reduce Because a landfill is airtight, things decompose inside very slowly Newspapers dug up from old landfills can still be read FORTY years later! Not a permanent solution No one wants a landfill in their city! A way to "get rid" of our trash by burying it Not just a hole in the ground Complex Layers and systems are put into place to prevent environmental harm Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! Composting It is up to you to be the change you want to see in the school and the world. Useful The costs to keep such a complex system running are very high We, the taxpayers, have to pay for it Even after a landfill is closed, it still costs money to be monitored and repaired. Other ways to help What Are Landfills? Other ways to reuse Reuse Artistic At home and school Landfill Legacy Try to reuse things on a day to day basis Instead of disposable water bottles, use reusable ones Instead of plastic grocery bags, try reusing cloth ones Try using rechargeable batteries Pass on, give away, or sell old things that are still good, but that you no longer need. Examples are clothes, old electronics, furniture, etc. Freecycle: A website where you can post things you no longer need and other people who need them will take them, keeping stuff out of the landfill. Keep packaging material you receive in packages and reuse it when you send out your own packages. Try reusing used plastic food containers as Tupperware Most of Paterson's trash goes Greentree Landfill in Kersey, Pennsylvania. That's 278 miles away; a five hour trip! System Failure Follow The Three R's How can you help your town recycle better? Computers, Cell phones, and TV's. Try to use less of trash-causing items Use less paper. Try using the computer instead Try not to eat out as much. Think of all the trash you create when you do! Be more conscious when buying things; what kind of packaging are things in? Use less transportation. Aside from being better for the environment, things like bikes create far less trash than cars. Reduce as much as you can, but when you can't... Try to reuse as much as possible, and things you can't reuse, try to recycle as much as possible. Use trash only as your last option Become part of the Imperial Recycle Team By: Loulwa AlSaggaf, Rahf Abuzaid, Duniya Saeed and Reem Amer. Can you think of other ways to reuse?

Transcript: Recycling Landfills Are you a NIMBY type of person? NIMBY stands for Not In My Back Yard! Everyone wants their trash GONE. Most people do NOT want it in their city or town How do you think the people at Camana Bay or Bodden Town feel about all our trash being dumped in their backyard? Where Does Other Trash Go? Incinerators Not as bad as they used to be After stricter regulations, all of the incinerators in the US put out less toxins per year then one single backyard bonfire Ash turns trash into a non-toxic, compact substance that can be put into landfills easier Still questions about how safe ash is, especially the finer ash, which may cause cancer Steam produced can sometimes be converted into energy Still uses a LOT of energy Emits greenhouse gases.
