TABLE OF CONTENTS Recycling - definition - types - stages Waste paper Bottles Batteries Recycling - significance

RECYCLING The way of environmental protection: reduction of natural resources consumption, reduction of waste maksimization of materials' re-use – minimization of expenses assumption: appropriate behaviour of both goods' producers and consumers

RECYCLING - DEFINITION Waste law from 27th April 2001 "... such a waste recovery which relies on repeated processing of substance or materials included in waste in a production process in order to obtain substance or material about the orginal destiny or about other purpose." (Dz. U. z 2001r. Nr. 62, poz. 628)

RECYCLING AS A CIRCULATION SYSTEM OF MATERIALS Elements: appropriate state legislation supporting recycling development of waste processing technology marking sysytem of both product packages and their components promotion of environmentally-friendly education, as well as organization of ecological behaviour in the society logistics of sorting, accumulation and receipt of consumed goods and their components. waste processing and recovery of raw materials from them.

RECYCLING - TYPES Re-application - repeated application of material or product with the same goal Further application - using waste for new applications after proper physical, chemical or biological alteration Re-use - regaining chemical waste of rubbish and re- puting them into production

RECYCLING - STAGES Sorting Crushing Washing Pressing Remaining

WASTE The amount of rubbish is constantly growing – reasons: higher standard of life population increase on Earth technological developnent, new packages modern lifestyle

HOW MUCH DOES IT TAKE RUBBISH TO DECOMPOSE? Aluminium cans 80 -100 years Glass bottles 1.000.000 years Plastic bags 50 – 200 years Butt-ends of cigarettes 1 – 5 years Rybber tyre 50 – 80 years, Core 5 weeks Orange or banana peel 2 – 5 weeks

'MY CLEAN CITY' Collecting of recyclable waste (waste paper, bottles, batteries) at schools and kindergardens Paying attention to the problem of rubbish and the need for its segregation

WASTE PAPER Waste paper - unnecessary or damaged paper products which can be directly used for other purposes than they were originally designed for or suitable as a raw material for the production of new paper. Waste paper is usually put into blue container,

WASTE PAPER WE COLLECT: WE DON'T COLLECT: newspapers, magazines catalogues, brochures paper bags wrapping paper books, notebooks envelopes cardboard etc. WE DON'T COLLECT: dirty or greasy paper cartoons from milk, drinks, juices books in hardback packages that apart from paper contain also other materials e.g. plastic and metal foils

RECYCLING OF WASTE PAPER Waste paper is used to produce: stationery products (paper towels, toilet paper, cardboard to boxes, grey wrapping paper, newsprint) building materials: ecofibres to thermal insulation of walls wavy roof plates

RECYCLING OF WASTE PAPER Curiosities: Recykling of 1 ton of paper allows to spare: from 2,3 up to 7 m³ space on a landfill site, 26 500 litres of water, 1 476 litres of oil, 4 200 kWh of energy. Every 100 kg of paper is two trees of average size. (one tree produces oxygen being enough for 10 persons annually)

BOTTLES Poland – the nearest in Europe level of PET bottles recycling low ecological awareness

BOTTLES WE COLLECT: only fizzy drinks bottles from PET material twisted caps WE DON'T COLLECT: bottles from cleaning materials bottles from oil other waste from syntetics

RECYCLING OF BOTTLES

BATTERIES they appear in devices of everyday use e.g. Watches, MP3 players, cameras, torches etc. Badly recycled are a serious threat to environment and health poważne zagrożenie dla środowiska i zdrowia ludzi: They contain heavy metals and harmful substances for the environment

BATTERIES We collect: WE DON'T COLLECT : batteries rechargeable batteries

RECYCLING OF BATTERIES Batteries are collected to specially designed containers As a result of recycling batteries are separated into 5 elements

RECYCLING - SIGNIFICANCE Natural environment: limitation of pollution caused by waste saving of raw material that are hard to reach limitation of coming into existence, removing and unproductive accumulation of waste that is difficult destroy or indestructible

RECYCLING - SIGNIFICANCE Human being: reduction of the amount of produced waste lowering the production cost keeping raw materials for future generations
