Prelude
Man has almost exhausted or about to exhaust earth’s
resources, there are plenty of re-useable products that can help
save the environment are discarded or sent to landfills either for
buria l or incineration, both are also harmful to the environment,
landfills are overcrowded with reusable material, carry heavy
operational costs, and won’t last forever due to rising precious
land costs and preparations to accept further waste.
The term recycling is widely understood as recycling at the
source or curbside recycling, this is where consumers separate
recyclable material after use and deliver to municipalities or
recycling facility “rather material recovery facility - MRF”,
however the recycling process is a bit different.
Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into
reusable objects to prevent waste of potentially useful materials,
reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, energy usage,
air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from
landfilling) by decreasing the need for "conventional" waste
disposal and lowering greenhouse gas emissions compared to
plastic production.
In this book we will focus on lucrative recycling processes where
recyclers can make economic gains in addition to serving
environmental protection causes.
