Today, let's discuss the difference between recyclable and non-recyclable garbage and how to deal with it.
Let's be specific.
Recyclable resources in life mainly include:
(1) Waste paper: newspapers, book paper, wrapping paper, office paper, advertising paper, cartons, etc. Note that paper towels and toilet paper are too water-soluble to be recycled. (2) Plastics: all kinds of plastic bags, plastic foams, plastic packaging, disposable plastic lunch boxes and tableware, hard plastics, plastic toothbrushes, plastic cups, mineral water bottles, etc.
(3) Glass: glass bottles and broken glass pieces, mirrors, light bulbs, thermos bottles, etc. (4) Metals: cans, tin cans, toothpaste skins, etc. (5) Cloth: mainly includes discarded clothes, tablecloths, towels, cloth bags, etc.
If every 1 ton of waste paper is recycled, 850 kilograms of paper can be made, 300 kilograms of wood can be saved, and pollution is reduced by 74% compared with the same output; Every 1 ton plastic beverage bottle can recover 0.7 tons of secondary raw materials; Every recovered 1 ton of scrap steel can produce 0.9 tons of steel, which saves 47% of the cost compared with ore smelting, reduces air pollution by 75%, and reduces water pollution and solid waste by 97%.
Garbage other than recyclables is basically waste. Such as cigarette butts, chicken feathers, electricity consumption, coal cinders, construction waste, paints and pigments, food residues and so on. Toxic garbage, including waste batteries, fluorescent tubes, mercury thermometers, paint buckets, medicines, cosmetics, etc.
Garbage is a misplaced treasure. Recycling garbage not only beautifies the environment, but also saves the exploitation of new resources, thus fundamentally reducing garbage. It's easy to participate in environmental protection. Let's start with the little things around us and start with the correct dumping of garbage.
At present, the disposal method of garbage is incineration. According to statistics, about 40%-50% of garbage is recyclable resource garbage. The implementation of garbage classification can not only recycle useful resources, protect the incinerator body and reduce the cost of pollution prevention, but also protect people's health and benefit the country and the people. In order to create better and fresher Hong Kong capital and create sustainable resource reuse.
