IU1010 – A second life(kasadinda rasa)

Waste has existed since the beginning of time. Depletion of resources, growing demand for secondary raw material, increasing production of waste. with the development of cities, industrialisation, and consumption of large amount of waste.

The issue is how to collect it? where to store it?

Garbage isn’t a very nice thing to have around. That’s why we make sure to put our garbage in the trash.

But do we ever think what happens to garbage after we throw it away?

Garbage trucks take our trash to landfills,where it is buried under layer of soil. But just because you can’t see your trash anymore doesn’t mean that it disappears. After a long time some kinds of trash will decompose but this can take many years.

For example, a banana peel can break down in less than a month, but a plastic pop bottle takes much longer.

How long this plastic pop bottle to decompose after we throw it away?

A continuing rise in the rate of waste production is no longer acceptable – hazardous waste affects the health of millions of people and poisons large areas of our planet. in many places people live surrounded by garbage and landfills. it is essential that governments and corportions face up to technologies that eliminate waste.

ok then what we can do of keeping this waste material?

  • Can it be reused?
  • Can it be recycled?

Example plastic paper or cover can be reused or we can use by making crafts

  • Recycling of plastic

Recycled plastics can be made into many products such as garments,flower pots,wigs and zips.

By collecting all the waste material and reusing it can reduce the garbages in the city.
