Recycling is a process that converts waste materials into useful products to reduce waste, air pollution, and consumption of raw materials. Common recyclable materials include glass, tin, cardboard, newspaper, and aluminum. The recycling process involves collecting these materials and remanufacturing them. For example, newspaper is recycled by separating ink from fibers, mixing the pulp with wood chips, drying, and reprocessing it into new newsprint or wrapping paper. Cardboard boxes are pulped, blended with new pulp, dried, and converted into cardboard layers to make new boxes. Aluminum pieces are melted into ingots and rolled into sheets to make various aluminum products like car bodies.
Process of Recyclling
- 1. Process of Recycling It is a process to convert the waste materials into useful products in order to prevent the wastage of materials , reduce air pollution & over consumption of fresh raw materials.
- 2. Recyclable Materials First of all we should know what are the recoverable or recyclable materials that are the part of our daily use: •Glass •Tin •Cardboard Boxes •Newspaper •Aluminium •Motor oil Instead of throwing these recyclable materials into trash, get them recycled.
- 3. Process Of Collecting And Re- manufacturingRecyclable Materials Recycling of Newspaper •Recycling process of newspaper includes the process that separates the inks from newspaper fibers and then turned into pulp. •This pulp is washed, bleached and mixed with wood chips to strengthen it •The pulp is poured on a screen to drain, then flattened and dried as it passes through steam-heated rollers. It is trimmed and rolled in order to be reused as newspaper. •After recycling newspaper it can be used as wrapping paper and reprocessed into newsprint.
- 4. Recycling of Cardboard Boxes • It is pulped and blended with wood chips (new pulp). • This new pulp is screened and rolled. • It is converted into 2 types of cardboard layers ribbed inner & linerboard outer layer after drying it. • These 2 layers are then sold to cardboard box plant where they are converted into new box.
- 5. Recycling of Aluminium •Aluminium pieces are converted into small chips and then melted •Turned into ingots •Ingots are sent to aluminum sheet manufacturing plants •These ingots are molded and rolled into aluminum sheets •These sheets can be shaped into various aluminum products like car bodies
