Garbage classification generally refers to the general term for a series of activities that classify, store, place and transport garbage in accordance with certain regulations or standards, thereby converting it into public resources.
Different countries classify waste differently.
For example, Germany is generally divided into paper, glass, metal and plastic.
Australia is generally divided into compostable waste, recyclable waste, and non-recyclable waste.
Japan is generally divided into plastic bottles, recyclable plastics, other plastics, resource waste, bulky waste, combustible garbage, non-burnable garbage and hazardous garbage.
The benefits of garbage sorting.
Reduce pollution to the environment.
Recycle non-degradable garbage to reduce environmental pollution.
Reduce garbage area.
There is a lot of garbage in the world. If it can be sorted and recycled, the area of garbage can be reduced, and the unused area can be used for other things.
Turning waste into treasure.
The recovered waste can be recycled. Therefore, garbage recycling is both environmentally friendly and resource-saving.
Beautify environment.
Building a beautiful city is inseparable from cleaning garbage.
Harm reduction.
Waste batteries, etc. contain toxic substances such as metallic mercury, which pose a serious threat to human beings. When waste plastic enters the soil, it reduces crop yields. Therefore, recycling can reduce these hazards.
If the garbage is disposed of by landfill or stacking, even if the landfill is far away from the living place, it is difficult to prevent the penetration of harmful substances by using the corresponding isolation technology.
These harmful substances will enter the entire ecosystem with the earth's cycle. Pollution of water and land through plants or animals ultimately affects people's health.
Reduce air pollution.
Some toxic and hazardous wastes will also produce a large amount of toxic gases when incinerated, which will not only increase carbon dioxide, but also pollute the air and endanger life.
