A Global Solution to the Environmental Crisis – Recycling
Experts in Recycling
E-Waste Recycling
- E-waste refers to electronic waste. E-waste recycling is the reuse and reprocessing of electrical and electronic equipment of any type that has been discarded or regarded as obsolete. Used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling or disposal are also considered e-waste.
- Electronic scrap components, such as CPUs, Mobiles, contain potentially harmful materials such as lead, cadmium, beryllium, or brominated flame retardants.
- Recycling and disposal of e-waste may involve significant risks to the health of workers and communities in developed countries and great care must be taken to avoid unsafe exposure in recycling operations and leaking of materials such as heavy metals from landfills and incinerator ashes.
Battery Recycling
- Battery recycling is a recycling activity that aims to reduce the number of batteries being disposed of as municipal solid waste.
- Batteries contain a number of heavy metals and toxic chemicals and disposing of them by the same process as regular trash has raised concerns over soil contamination and water pollution.
- Batteries are classed as hazardous waste streams. Most types of batteries can be recycled. However, some batteries are recycled more readily than others, such as lead-acid automotive batteries (nearly 90% are recycled) and button cells (because of the value and toxicity of their chemicals).
- Rechargeable nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd), nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH), lithium-ion (Li-ion), and nickel-zinc (Ni-Zn), can also be recycled.
Metal Recycling
- As we know, 1 Ton of iron recycled could save up to 1.1 MT of iron ore
- Scrap consists of recyclable materials left over from product manufacturing and consumption, such as parts of vehicles, building supplies, and surplus materials. Unlike waste, scrap has monetary value, especially recovered metals, and non-metallic materials are also recovered for recycling.
- According to research conducted by the US Environmental Protection Agency, recycling scrap metals can be quite beneficial to the environment. Using recycled scrap metal in place of virgin iron ore can yield.
- Aluminum savings of 95% energy.
Copper savings of 85% energy.
Lead savings of 65% energy.
Zinc savings of 60% energy.
Paper Recycling
- The recycling of paper is the process by which waste paper is turned into new paper products.
- It has a number of important benefits: It Saves Trees. It saves waste paper from occupying the homes of people and producing methane as it breaks down.
- There are three categories of paper that can be used as feedstocks for making recycled paper: mill broke, pre-consumer waste, and post-consumer waste.
- Post-consumer waste is material discarded after consumer use, such as old corrugated containers (OCC), old magazines, Books, and newspapers. Paper suitable for recycling is called “scrap paper”, often used to produce molded pulp packaging.
The process of waste paper recycling most often involves mixing used/old paper with water and chemicals to break it down. It is then chopped up and heated, which breaks it down further into strands of cellulose, a type of organic plant material; this resulting mixture is called pulp, or slurry. It is strained through screens, which remove plastic that may still be in the mixture then cleaned, de-inked (ink is removed), bleached, and mixed with water. Then it can be made into new recycled paper.

Plastic Recycling
- Plastic recycling is the reprocessing of plastic waste into new and useful products.
- This can reduce dependence on landfill, conserve resources and protect the environment from plastic pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Plastic is one of the most popular and useful materials of modern times: we now use about 20 times more plastic than we did 50 years ago.
- Some researchers have found that less than 5% of manufactured plastic is recycled each year. This plastic riddles our ocean and researchers say that it would take more than 450 years to biodegrade, if it ever did.
- Only non-biodegradable plastic can be recycled. Some compostable plastics can also be home composted and should be clearly labeled if this is the case. Compostable plastics should not go in with your dry recycling as they cannot be recycled in the same way as non-biodegradable plastic.
- Sorted by polymer type
- Shredding
- Washing
- Melting
- Granules
- Made into new products.
One of the most popular processes in converting plastic waste into fuel is called pyrolysis. This technique requires heating the plastics at a very high temperature. Materials are separated and this allows for them to be reused in an eco friendly way.
