Plastic recycling: we distinguish between recyclable and non-recyclable plastic

Image
  As is now well known even to the less informed about ecology and recycling, plastic represents a serious problem for our environment. It is for this reason that the issue of plastic recycling appears more topical than ever.   The versatility of plastics has allowed humans to create new products and improve existing ones, allowing both to optimize their costs and, in some cases, to reduce their polluting impact. Plastic Scrap Recycling has increased exponentially since 1950 bringing with it the development of a throwaway culture characteristic of the modern age. The huge volume of plastic waste that infests the seas, oceans and coasts is increasingly sadly visible to our own eyes. The aquatic population and the entire ecosystem suffer enormously from the presence of plastics and Microplastics floating in the water.   Microplastics are plastic particles smaller than 5mm (more precisely between 0.1micrometers and 5mm) deriving from a waste composed of plastic which, o...

How to recycle electronic waste: the new life of refurbished Smartphones

  Recycle, this is the imperative. Pollution is no longer a distant mirage, but a daily reality to be reckoned with. The planet we live on is slowly dying out due to the huge amount of waste we produce. A large part of the blame goes to E-waste recycling service , which causes a tremendous environmental impact.   Gold, silver and precious materials: what is hidden in electronic waste?   From this awareness comes the need to give a second life to devices that are thrown or forgotten for years in some drawer. Those that are enclosed under the name of electronic waste, are not only one of the most harmful products from an ecological point of view, but they hide real treasures inside.   The Japanese are leading the way in electronic recycling: from 47,500 tons of electronic waste, 28.4 kilos of gold, 3,500 kg of silver and 2,700 kilos of bronze have been extracted. What will happen to these precious materials? They will be used for 2020 Olympics medals - a great w...

Computer Science: The Recycling Of Electronic Waste

  THE RECYCLING OF ELECTRONIC WASTE   The life of technological products is not inherently lasting. The technological environment is multi-dynamic and multi-sector, what was good yesterday, today may no longer be useful: objectives, trends, desires and programs change. The need to dispose of technological and electrical materials is increasing. Let's think about the number of TV screens, PCs, keyboards, mobile phones ... considering how many have been produced and how many new models will be produced, recycling becomes more than essential. This type of electronic and technological waste is a big problem for the environment and the conservation of our planet.   Guaranteeing a second life to materials of this type therefore becomes a challenge of environmental and economic sustainability. A single company,  has managed to recover around 2,500 tons of glass in just over a decade.   The industrial production of the future focuses on elements such as innovation...
