Waste Sorting System
Waste separation helps to conserve raw materials
Process
Most natural resources, such as petroleum or ores, are limited and only partially replaceable by renewable resources. That's why yoghurt pots and other plastic packaging are also recycled. The plastic (polypropylene) from which they are made is originally derived from petroleum. That makes him attractive as a recycled product. To obtain 1,000 kilograms of new PET (polyethylene terephthalate *), about 1,900 liters of oil would have to be used. The correct recycling of plastic waste is an important source of raw materials.
The recyclables glass (main raw material quartz sand) and paper (main raw material wood) achieve a recycling rate of more than 80%. Waste paper can be reused up to five times. Old glass can even be reused seven to ten times!
A sustainable economy spares the natural and finite resources. Waste separation and recycling are integral parts of sustainable farming. The separation of waste begins with us all. But that does not mean that we produce and consume at all costs, only to end up in the end.
