Recycling Methods

Abstract

The paper addresses the issues of recycling, which contributes to the environment protection. Recycling contributes to the use and circulation of industrial or household waste, or its conversion into energy. Recycling is a labor-intensive and energy-intensive process which can reduce the volume of primary raw materials used, the level of air, water and soil pollution. There are different processing technologies for each type of raw material: metals are melted; waste paper is crushed, dissolved and cleaned; plastic is sorted, foreign objects are removed and crushed. The method of removal and subsequent recycling of waste can have a positive impact on the environment pollution. Safety of the most common methods of waste disposal, such as burning, burial and composting, for humans and the environments was analyzed. It is difficult to select a recycling method, since each one has both advantages and disadvantages. Separate collection of household waste and pre-sorting make it possible to reuse most materials. The development of processing factories and enterprises can reduce the area of landfills.
