Garbage sorting
It is to divide the garbage according to its recycling value
and the degree of pollution to the environment
Divided into different categories
It is conducive to the recycling and disposal of garbage
So what is the meaning of garbage sorting
What's in it for you?
The significance of garbage sorting
1. Separate the kitchen waste based on perishable organic components to provide high-quality raw materials for garbage composting and produce high-quality organic fertilizer, which is conducive to improving soil fertility and reducing the amount of chemical fertilizer.
2. Separate the kitchen garbage with high moisture content, improve the calorific value of other garbage, and reduce the difficulty of secondary pollution control of garbage incineration.
3. Sorting out hazardous wastes reduces the content of heavy metals, organic pollutants and pathogenic bacteria in garbage, which is conducive to the harmless treatment of garbage and reduces the risk of water, soil and air pollution in garbage disposal.
4. Different types of garbage are diverted, so that the amount of waste that ends up in sanitary landfill is greatly reduced, and the service life of the landfill is extended.
Benefits of garbage sorting
1. Reduce land occupation
Some substances in domestic garbage are not easy to degrade, so that the land is seriously eroded. Garbage classification, remove recyclable and non-degradable substances, and reduce the amount of garbage by more than 60%.
2. Reduce environmental pollution
Waste batteries contain toxic substances such as metal mercury and cadmium, which will cause serious harm to humans; Waste plastics in the soil can lead to reduced crop yields; Waste plastic discarded is accidentally eaten by animals, resulting in accidents that lead to the death of animals from time to time. Therefore, recycling can reduce harm
3. Turn waste into treasure
China uses 4 billion plastic fast food boxes, 5-700 million instant noodle bowls, and billions of pairs of disposable chopsticks every year, accounting for 8-15% of household waste. 1 ton of waste plastic can be used to recycle 600 kg of diesel. Recycling 1,500 tonnes of waste paper saves the cutting of trees used to produce 1,200 tonnes of paper.
How to sort garbage
1. Kitchen waste
2. Recyclables
3. Hazardous garbage
4. Other garbage
Domestic garbage sorting and putting containers
Kitchen waste containers are generally green;
Recyclables are generally placed in blue;
Hazardous waste containers are generally red;
Other waste containers are generally black.
The color matching of domestic waste sorting containers should be consistent with the color matching of the logo, which is conducive to the public to know the classification of garbage, improve the identification of classified garbage, and promote the accuracy of classified garbage.
