Waste Disposal

without comments

Waste disposal is something that each one of us has to deal with on a daily basis, however for many of us; it’s not a huge concern. We simply put our rubbish, litter and waste in a bin, and wait for that bin to be emptied by the local authorities. For most of us, that’s where our commitment to our waste ends.

Waste is becoming an issue on the environment, with landfill sites bulging to capacity with the waste the world throws away. So what can we do to change this? How can waste disposal be more efficient, Earth friendly and less impactful on the environment?

Technology, medicine, transport and travel have all developed at a rapid rate; however the core fundamentals of waste management and waste disposal remain the same. “Throw the rubbish away and it will be taken care of” we think.

There are a number of methods we can turn to for effective waste disposal. Recycling is one of the major players in the waste disposal arena. Recycling waste and turning it into something that can once again be put to an effective and efficient use is the key. Plastic bottles can be recycled into a number of things, even clothing.

Food waste can be recycled and used for fertilisers, or used in creating clean energy. The options for waste recycling are endless.

We don’t have to wait for the big companies to dispose of our waste for us, we can take the first steps at home but sorting our trash into various piles and recycling it where possible.

Recycling human hair

without comments

There are lots of great uses for human hair. Instead of throwing it away, it can be put to good use around your home. In fact, using cut hair for jewelry, clothes, sculptures, fertilizer and even furniture is not very uncommon, a practice. It can be used again for your pets, made into clothing, and even provides soft bedding and shelter for the birds. If you have birds nesting in your garden, you can leave the hair for them to use as a building material. Hair clippings of humans can be used to deter snails from your prized vegetables. Human hair can be used to keep pests out of your garden. One can leave shed out hair and hair clippings around the garden to deter skunks, rats, rabbits and other animals. Human hair was once saved to stuff things such as pin cushions, seat cushions, and pet toys. One can easily make small stuffed items from used hair and that is a great way to use it without having to buy new materials. Woven hair can be used to make jewelry products. Human hair dresses are readily available, and it is a fine example of recycling and putting into use of human hair.

However, now even smaller quantities of human hair, including much of what used to end up in the barbershop’s wastebasket are being recycled into a variety of gardening products that encourage healthy plant life and naturally deter unwanted pests in the garden. In addition to that human hair can be composted as well. Many people primarily collect, sanitize, and market human hair to be used as a consumer good. Our recycled hair products will be targeted toward the home gardener who will benefit from hair’s numerous elemental characteristics and its strong human scent. Clippings of human hair contain an extremely high nutrient value which, when utilized and mixed with potting soil, will produce a higher quality plant food and soil enhancer than what is currently on the market. Human hair, in common with wool, silk, and other organic materials, has very high nitrogen content, and in the soil, nitrogen encourages tissue growth. If the sweepings from a barber shop were regularly applied to a compost heap, an enormous amount of nitrogen could be recovered.

Toxins in electronics waste

without comments

Classic tube televisions hold between 4 and 8 pounds of lead per television. If not recycled, this lead ends up in landfills, potentially leaking into water and surrounding soil. Older computer monitors also contain lead and the fluorescent lamp in the screen contains mercury. The circuit board contains both lead and cadmium, which is a human carcinogen. Even though recycling electronics is preferable to simply throwing them in the garbage, you can prevent the disposal process altogether by reusing items. By keeping an outdated computer monitor or donating a TV to a local charity, you can help prevent environmental damage while contributing to your community at the same time. Buying things we simply do not need might be the biggest cause for an e-waste problem. It is really important for us to just stop and ask ourselves if we need a gadget or electronic item before we buy it. We really need to activate that voice in our heads that talks to us and prevents us from buying electronic items we do not need. E-waste is the term used to describe discarded electronics and electrical products. In the past few decades, the world’s demand for gadgetry has gone through the roof and, inevitably, more waste has started to accumulate. As the bustling economies of China and India modernize and follow more Western trends, the worldwide generation of e-waste has hit astronomical proportions.

Recycling electronic waste-I

without comments

With the plethora of new electronic devices produced each year, consumers need to dispose of their obsolete products faster than ever. In order to slow the environmental effects of poor waste management, it is important to know how to recycle electronics properly. Electronic devices contain harmful toxins such as lead, arsenic and mercury. If electronics end up in a dump or land fill, they release these toxins into the environment. Many electronic devices contribute to toxic waste when disposed of incorrectly.

Also, there are some of the chemicals and compounds used in household products that have lot of harmful effects. Arsenic may disrupt cell communication and interfere with the triggers that cause cells to grow, possibly contributing to cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes if someone is exposed in chronic, low doses. Cadmium affects your body’s ability to metabolize calcium, leading to bone pain and severely weakened, fragile bones. Chromium can cause skin irritation and rashes and is potentially carcinogenic. Copper can irritate the throat and lungs and affect the liver, kidneys and other body systems. Lead poisoning can cause a whole slew of health problems including the impairment of cognitive and verbal activity. Eventually, lead exposure can cause paralysis, coma and death. Nickel is carcinogenic in large doses.

Advantages of recycling

without comments

Recycling cloth and textiles saves energy and reduces pollution that would result from transportation and particularly the dyeing and color fixing processes applied to new, raw cloth. In particular, recycling really helps in this case by saving water, which is used in large quantity to wash and treat raw cloth. Recycling textiles via donation, benefits charities, and provides affordable clothes for 3rd world countries. In other words it raises revenues for charity, provides clothes in world disaster areas. A lot of economic savings can be done and it also reduces household expenditure in a repressed declining economy. When it comes to textiles and clothing, people perceive that manufacturing clothes is a one way route. Clothes are manufactured, sold, worn out and thrown away. This conception is fast changing as a result of the increase in public awareness with regards recycling clothes. High fashion and corporate greed have both contributed to this notion. Consumers in developed countries have an unending appetite for fast fashion and it is us who need to change. Recycling clothes and accessories is one such initiative that aims to change people’s mindset about this alarming trend and establish clothes as a commodity. Clothes recycling are not new to the world. Unlike manufacturing, recycling clothes is usually undertaken manually. The process includes collection, repair and distribution of clothing and accessories. This in turn creates more jobs in the system. With modern collection and distribution systems, clothes recycling have been taken to another level. Our online portal offers users the ability to trade clothes collection online and make quick money. People in need of fast cash can trade in their unwanted clothes through a very easy to use interface. Besides recycling clothes, there are other uses for used textiles. Rags/wipers can be made out of clothes that are no fit for wearing. Dedicated factories have been set up by large textile houses that make use of used clothes to make rags and in turn earn more money. This also reduces the carbon footprint of companies that otherwise would have to thrown clothes in landfill sites. Such capitalism is good for the economy.

Reuse of recycled clothes

without comments

Clothing items that cannot be sold on or repaired can go through another recycling method. This involves collecting post-industrial waste, cloth and scraps left over from fabric and garment manufacture, and post-consumer waste – used clothes and other household textiles. All the fabric is sorted according to type, color and grade, and then shredded into fibers. The product, known as shoddy, can, if it is of a high grade, be mixed with new fibers and then spun for weaving or knitting. At this stage, designers and manufacturers are also stepping in and making clothes from this product, making a virtue out of its recycled nature. You should look out for these recycled products in the high street. Low grade shoddy can be used as carpet underlay, padding for mattresses and stuffing for cushions, amongst other uses. This process of recycling cloth, textiles and fibers reduces waste being put in landfill sites. Due to the ease and creativity of this process, recycling of such materials has been in place a long time, and a culture of easy disposal of clothes has not developed, as it has with other materials mentioned on other pages here, such as plastic, glass and paper.

Recycling egg shells

without comments

Egg shells can be used in art, nutrition, building material and many other things. Following are the different ways of using egg shells.
• Eggshells are composed of around 95% calcium carbonate, a mineral that is very important for industry, nutrition and agriculture. Many studies have been carried out to find new ways to utilize this resource. They are being looked at for treating cadmium in waste water, because of their natural absorbent properties
• Powdered egg shells are used in animal feed and pet food. There are nutritional supplements that are composed of this mineral.
• Historically the shell of an egg has been used by some artists in the recipe for white pigment.
• Some young students have experimented with eggshells instead of sand in building hollow blocks, which has been used by individual builders in some areas. Some Caribbean islands are losing their protective beaches. Individuals are illegally taking large amount of sand to make cement for building hotels for the tourist industry. Using eggshells in place of the sand will be a good option
• Mosaics, carving, painting, decoupage and washi eggs are some of the artistic use of eggshells. Crafters can make snow globes, use in terrariums, make miniature igloos, snow people and of course eggshell chalk. They can be used in home decor and as holiday ornaments
