The three R’s — reduce, reuse and recycle — all help to cut down on the amount of waste we throw away. They conserve natural resources, landfill space and energy. Plus, the three R’s save land and money communities must use to dispose of waste in landfills. Siting a new landfill has become difficult and more expensive due to environmental regulations and public opposition. The three R’s are a sort of waste hierarchy — the order of priority of actions to be taken to reduce the amount of waste generated, and to improve overall waste management processes and programs.
The concept of reducing what is produced and what is consumed is essential to the waste hierarchy. The logic behind is simple to understand — if there is less waste, then there is less to recycle or reuse.
Learning to reuse items, or re-purpose them for a use different than what they are intended for is essential in waste hierarchy. You may have a box of things you keep that are broken or that you don’t use that you hang on to in case you find another use for them. Or you may find bargains on old furniture or go trash picking and get things that you can refinish — in either case you are working towards reusing the item.
The last stage of the waste hierarchy is to recycle. To recycle something means that it will be transformed again into a raw material that can be shaped into a new item. There are very few materials on the earth that cannot be recycled. One of the issues facing communities that want to become more involved with a recycling effort is that while the relying collection and sorting process may be affordable to implement, there still has to be a facility to receive and transform the discarded waste into a raw material. More progress is being made toward uniting recycling plants with industries that can process the waste material through agreements and incentive credits.
Angenium is a project that pays much attention to recycling. We found a new way of recycling ash and slag waste and pyrite cinders produced by factories, in which no harm will be done to our environment. More than that, we can get precious metals from it like gold. If you want to read more about Angenium, go to www.angenium.io
