*E
- Waste
- electronics disposed
-E.g.) Secondary computers, electronics, mobile phones, television sets & refrigerator
Recycling methods
a) Biological reprocessing b) Energy recovery i)Pyrolysis ii)Gasification
Key to providing a livable environment for the future
Incineration
Requires minimum land Can be operated in any weather
Practical Issues
Lack of awareness
bio-degradable Some wastes cannot be recycled Unsightly - smell, waste, vermin requires proper planning, design, and operation
Bio-Methanation Process
Materials that are organic in nature, such as plant
material, food scraps convert starch or sugary agricultural feed stock into a methane rich gas mixture three stages, namely, hydrolysis, acid-genesis and methane formation Process is very slow Installing is expensive.
Suggestions
Improve product design to use less materials. use biodegradable materials maintenance of cleanliness in yards and streets At Source Treatment, Separation of materials should be done at source Encourage eople to reuse materials rather than purchase new ones.
