What is recycling?

Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new products. This way we can reduce the use of raw materials that would have been used. Recycling also uses less energy and it is ecologically sustainable.

Recycling starts with your home. In many countries, the authorities help families and install bin with labels on them.

Households then sort out the waste themselves and place it in the right bins for collection. This makes the work less difficult.

Match the waste with the bin.

Waste: water bottles, cola drink cans, newspapers, rubber bags, books, broken bottles, magazines, fruit cans, plastic bags

ALUMINIUM BIN

PAPER BIN

GLASS BIN

PLASTIC BIN

Основное содержание урока:

20 to 50 million tons of e-waste are disposed worldwide every year.
A large number of what is called "e-waste" is actually not waste at all. It is electronic equipment or parts that can be resold, reused or recycled for materials recovery.
Only 12.5% of e-waste is currently recycled.
Mobile phones and other electronic items contain high amounts of precious metals like gold or silver.
Every 1 million mobile phones that are recycled, can give 15,873 kg of copper, 347 kg of silver, 34 kg of gold, 13,2 kg of palladium.
It takes 239 kg of fossil fuel, 22 kg of chemicals, and 1,5 tons of water to manufacture one computer and monitor.
Electronic items that are considered to be hazardous include: televisions and computer monitors, LCD desktop monitors, LCD televisions, plasma televisions, portable DVD players with LCD screens.
