Taking action on waste recycling is essential. We consume natural resources at an unsustainable rate and contribute unnecessarily to climate change. Each year we generate about 100 million tonnes of waste from households, commerce and industry.
Most of this ends up in landfill, where biodegradable waste generates methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. And much valuable energy is used up in making new products which are later disposed of, also contributing to climate change. All this can change if every household invested in suitable recycling bins to recycle important and reusable resources. Did you know that putting waste into recycling bins is an excellent way to save energy and to conserve the environment, did you know that if the recycled the following items and put it into your recycling bin: -
- 1 recycled tin can would save enough energy to power a television for 3 hours.
- 1 recycled glass bottle would save enough energy to power a computer for 25 minutes.
- 1 recycled plastic bottle would save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for 3 hours.
By having a recycling bin in your home can make a big difference to the overall level of materials and waste we recycle as it helps sort out the particular waste products into separate containers so we can recycle more, there are some popular types of recycling bins available.
