Humanity is increasingly thinking about the state of the environment and the impact that man himself has on it. Waste recycling is one of the main directions in the struggle for the purity of the surrounding world.
Instructions
Step 1
There are less and less newspapers and plastic bottles in modern garbage containers - this direction of the processing industry is most actively developing, effectively solving the problem of recycling plastic and paper waste.
Step 2
However, many types of household and industrial waste are not recycled. Broken glass is one of these types of waste, moreover, it is actually eternal waste. The glass will remain where we left it, without shattering for hundreds of years. If we were only talking about household glass waste, the problem would be less global, but there is also industrial waste of the same type. A fifth of all garbage in landfills is broken glass. That is why researchers are actively working on the possibilities of glass recycling.
Step 3
One of the leading areas in the recycling of broken glass is the production of building mixtures. The glass is crushed and then added to concrete mixes. Concrete with such a filling acquires new physical and mechanical characteristics that allow it to withstand critical loads and the effects of an aggressive environment. Another advantage of the technology is the economy of the processing process, the resulting material is not only efficient in its characteristics, but also cheap. This forces industrial enterprises to open points for receiving glass and glass containers on the territory. You can hand over glass in any volume and form there. Moreover, get a certain amount according to the weight of the accepted waste.
Step 4
Broken glass processing plants operate with industrial volumes of cullet. It is obvious that the delivery of such a plan to the recycling site is unlikely. That is why small companies that collect and accumulate this or that type of secondary raw materials are beginning to actively develop for their subsequent sale to processing companies. Such companies currently exist in most large cities, their network is constantly expanding. Any type of glass can be handed over to the reception points of such companies - from glass containers to windows.
Step 5
You can clarify the presence and address of the nearest company of such a profile in the administration of your district - collectors and processing enterprises, mainly private firms, but a mandatory rule for them is passing state accreditation.
Step 6
You can also contact the management company, which, if it does not itself collect household waste (for example, does not have a permit for this type of activity), then in any case should organize a contract with a third-party company. Usually, once or twice a month, a truck arrives at the microdistrict and receives glass from citizens. In order to save money, many housing departments and condominiums are going out of the situation differently: they install containers for collecting waste on their own territory. You can throw glass there at any time and without restrictions.
