2. WHAT IS RECYCLING?
RECYCLING is processing used materials (waste) into
new products to prevent waste of potentially useful
material

3. RECYCLE
is the third ‘R’ of the mobius loop
DUCE
USE
CYCLE

5.  INCREASE IN POPULATION
 RISE IN DEMAND FOR GOODS
 FAST DEPLETING NATURAL
RESOURCES
 LESS ENERGY REQUIRED FOR
RECYCLING

6. Waste generated is disposed by
LANDFILL INCINERATION

7. PROCESS of RECYCLING
 Collection
 Segregation
 Processing and
Remanufacturing
 Purchase and Use

8. Water
Paper
Aluminium
Electronic waste
Glass
Plastic
Paint
Scrap

9. RECYCLING
Paper
Aluminium
35% less water pollution
Requires only 5% of energy
74% less air pollution
use to make new Al

10. RECYCLING
Water
Electronic waste
Filtration
Mechanical shredding and
separation Reverse osmosis
Cryogenic decomposition ozonation

12. Financial Benefits  Conservation of
Resources
Make money selling 1 million ton of steel
recyclables recycled saves
1.3 million tons iron ore
7,18,000 tons coal
62,000 tons limestone

13. Energy saving Jobs creation
It requires less 10,000 tons of
energy to waste:
manufacture
recycled goods Incinerated- 1 job
Landfilled – 6 jobs
Recycled – 36 jobs

14. Environmental Protection
 Reduced contamination from landfills
 Reduced pollution
 Reduced environmental impact from mining or
extracting fresh raw materials
