WHAT IS RECYCLING?

• Recycling is a process using materials (waste)
  into new products to prevent waste of potentially
  useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh
  raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air
  pollution (from incineration) and water pollution
  (from landfilling) by reducing the need for
  "conventional" waste disposal, and lower
  greenhouse gas emissions as compared to plastic
  production. Recycling is a key component of
  modern waste reduction and is the third component
  of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy.

• Nowadays pollution is increasing, but the
  negative impact of the industrialization could be
  reduced if we all adopt some behaviors which are
  the basis of recycling.

5 REASONS WHY RECYCLING IS NECESSARY

• 1. It saves energy!

6

• 2.By recycling we keep the air and water clean
  and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.

7

• 3. Recycling conserves natural resources as the
  waste are used as resource in different
  production processes.

8

• 4. Recycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions

9
5. Recycling saves money and helps create new
jobs.

WHAT IS GLASS MADE OF?

• Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid
  material. Glasses are typically brittle and
  optically transparent.
• The most familiar type of glass, used for
  centuries in windows and drinking vessels, is
  soda-lime glass, composed of about 75 silica
  (SiO2) plus sodium oxide (Na2O) from soda ash,
  lime (CaO), and several minor additives.

12
Glass recycle

• Glass recycling is the process of turning waste
  glass into usable products. Glass waste should be
  separated by chemical composition, and then,
  depending on the end use and local processing
  capabilities, might also have to be separated
  into different colors. The most common types used
  for consumer containers are
• colorless glass
• green glass
• brown/amber glass.

13
SHOULD WE RECYCLE GLASS?

• WHY

•    Up to 90 of the new glass can be made of
  reused glass which would save energy and natural
  resources. Glass is infinitely recyclable without
  losing its qualities.

14
BECAUSE...

• Glass recycling uses less energy than
  manufacturing glass from sand, lime and soda.

• Every ton of waste glass recycled saves 1.2
  tons of natural resources and thus it helps
  protecting the environment.

• It reduces the costs regarding the household
  wastes. 8 of the household waste can be reused
  by glass recycling.

• Glass Recycling is Good for the EnvironmentA
  glass bottle that is sent to a landfill can take
  up to a million years to break down. By contrast,
  it takes as little as 30 days for a recycled
  glass bottle to leave your kitchen recycling bin
  and appear on a store shelf as a new glass
  container.

• Glass Recycling is Simple
• Its simple, because glass is one of the easiest
  materials to recycle. For one thing, glass is
  accepted by almost all curbside recycling
  programs and municipal recycling centers. About
  all most people have to do to recycle glass
  bottles and jars is to carry their recycling bin
  to the curb, or maybe drop off their empty glass
  containers at a nearby collection point.

Glass
Every month, we throw out enough glass bottles
and jars to fill up a giant skyscraper.
Glass can be recycled an infinite number of times.
A modern glass bottle would take 4000 years or
more to decompose and even longer if its in
the landfill.
Recycling one ton of glass saves the equivalent
of 10 gallons of oil.
The energy saved from recycling one glass bottle
will operate a 100-watt light bulb for four hours.
