Solid waste recycling and importance of environmental and economic

Solid waste is a stand-alone environmental problem because it will lead to pollution of the environment if they are not re-
Recycled and benefit from, rather than be thrown randomly as is the case we have now where thrown garbage on the sides and edges of the main and branch roads, as well as in agricultural land, or to convey to the dump in the garbage to be collected and then landfilled without treatment and have turned some countries to use the methods of modern technology to take advantage of solid waste.
The method of recycling waste and importance of environmental Eng Mohammed Rahmoun - Deputy Chairman of the Department of rehabilitation and training in the Agriculture Department of Homs, having visited the scientific of the University of Davis, California as a visiting scholar to conduct research and experiments on organic farming and natural resource protection and management of ecosystems, he said: take advantage of the waste
Developed countries are using the latest state of the art techniques for the use of waste and recycling through:
- Take advantage of household waste by turning it into organic fertilizer with high quality.
- Take advantage of solid waste by dry screening.
Are available several ways to retrieve useful materials from solid waste and re-use them, and these ways:
Magnetic sorting and counting, as well as the antenna is isolated as components of waste for recycling after composting can take advantage of waste grease in the manufacture of soap, candles and furniture of domestic large-size re-use and transported by specialized companies.
And facing the process of recovery of materials from waste two main problems: A - favoring the use of raw materials recovered.
B - the high cost of separation and collection, transfer and processing of recovered materials.
And are sometimes re-use of waste without taking into account their health effects.
Sorting and separation of waste
The separation of materials from the source has its benefits, including: The materials stay clean and non-mixed which requires the cooperation of the population.
And materials that can be separated from the source: paper - glass bottles, plastics and rubber .. The process of separation usually in a factory sorting waste where it is sorted waste blended before sending each material sorted into production factories for glass and paper, aluminum, or to the factories of recycling for fertilizer and organic plastics of all kinds and there is household waste is sorted for being hazardous wastes such as batteries, paints, and is collected from the source or transferred to the collection sites of hazardous household waste and this waste is not related to industrial hazardous waste.
Recycling process are interdependent
Can be defined recycling as several interrelated to each other begin to collect materials that can be recycled and then sorted by type to become a raw material suitable for manufacturing to be converted to usable products and the most important of recyclable waste are: iron, aluminum, paper, glass, wood and recycling lead to a reduction of the adoption of factory on materials Kkhamat natural essential for its products and thereby to reduce the depletion of these natural materials, and environmental and economic benefits of recycling are:
1 - reduction of environmental pollution from the disposal of waste by burial or cremation.
2 - maintenance of natural materials.
3 - Reduce reliance on imported raw materials.
4 - To provide opportunities for new industrial.
5 - Provide new employment opportunities and the provision of energy.
And good practices in the assembly for the purpose of recycling is to create a collection centers neighborhoods, and a collection container near the commercial centers, and requiring restaurants and other centers to send materials after the sorting to the nearest collection center.
And reducing waste means reducing the amount of waste from the source, while waste recycling is the use of waste instead of raw materials in factories and production both cases, dilute the waste going to the burial sites and therefore financial savings, material and energy saving, for example, aluminum cans can be recycled several times.
Energy recovery
Access to energy from waste economic target is important, as well as the reduction in the volume of waste, and adopt the amount of energy generated by components of the waste and the percentage of moisture and latent heat energy and the proportion of combustible materials in the waste between 70% -80% of the weight of the waste.
And waste energy normally used for heating and electricity generation as is the case in Scandinavia ..
The recycling of waste is the perfect solution to get rid of waste and environmentally beneficial economic when the availability of capital, technology and trained manpower.
Among the benefits of recycling waste as well as to conserve the environment by reducing pollution budget for cleaning contracts and the creation of investment opportunities because of the availability of raw materials and replacement of some alternative products Kahlal products of plastics instead of wood products, for example.
Most of the operating costs of the screening program from the source resulting from the sorted waste collection and operation of the sorting center. The most important benefit of the sort of source is to get good results, and prices relatively high in the office market, cardboard, glass, rubber and needs sorting Almsdrily lower cost of capital was used to create the store to the collection of waste sorted and the sort method from the source appropriate for communities far from the sites sort of central, the most economical way possible and preferred to municipalities because they do not want to move the waste and buried in burial sites, but you need municipalities to active participation by society and the creation of markets consumers of these materials on an ongoing basis so this method requires the cooperation of the public to make it work, I have found that more people have the desire to sort from the source are affected by negative from landfills.
