The recycling process is a task that does not end only with the separation of waste in its place of origin, it is more, this is only the beginning of a new stage For the materials, then, from there, they necessarily have to transfer the recovered waste to certain facilities where each material will be treated and prepared for later incorporating the materials, already recycled to the market in the form of new products.
If the entire recycling process were really done correctly with each recyclable material, the markets would function properly and the recycling sector could be profitable, as well as generating quite significant energy savings and a large number of jobs.
Recycled materials and "recyclable" materials
First of all, two terms that are very often confused must be made very clear, the difference between "recycled" materials and "recyclable" materials. The term recyclable describes a product that can be used as a raw material in the production of others. On the other hand, the concept of recycling is used in processed products with recovered materials.
Recycling nowadays has to face many problems, the most important of which are the separation of waste from the two large sectors that have to be managed differently, industrial waste and household waste, since the latter's waste group generate waste more heterogeneous, of lower quality and in more dispersed places.
It has been observed that there are factors in common between the two sources of waste mentioned above and they are related to the transformation, supply and demand of recycled products, which, if managed correctly, can make your sector, something very profitable, in addition to generating significant energy savings and the creation of a large number of jobs.
Everyone knows that there is not one universal solution Regarding recycling, but the most effective solution, looking for the environment depends on many things.
The european commission
The European Commission defined four types of measure to increase the competitiveness recycling companies and stimulate, in the same way, activities in this sector: 1. Standardization 2. Market development and transparency 3. Innovation 4. Regulatory measures
The specific case of Spain
Referring to the case concrete from SpainIn the last decade there has been a significant increase in the recycling rate. For example, the situation of plastic recycling in our country has the necessary infrastructures and commercial conditions to be able to develop, but there are other factors that hinder its development, such as the scarce collection and the lack of confidence of the transformers of this material.
To promote the use of recycled products awareness programs and promotion to society can be carried out, since it is tremendously important knowledge by the public of the basic principles of recycling, the process and the importance they have.
The benefits of using recycled products are many, but some of them are:
- The decrease in pollution in general as well as the consumption from Energy.
- The lower use of fossil fuels in its production, which at the same time generates less CO2.
- The amount of solid waste that is deposited in landfills is reduced.
- Virgin raw material is saved, since the use of recyclable materials in the manufacture of new products helps to preserve it.
