Here are some beneficial tips which anyone can use in their domestic or commercial usage.
Wash plastic bags with hot water as plastic is the biggest source of waste products. Do not reuse plastic bags that contained raw meat.

Importance of Recycling

When it comes to recycling doing a little can help a lot. As limited resources become more limited, and as the impact of waste places a bigger burden on the environment, the time for action is now. While the actions of one may not be enough to correct all the problems the world faces, the role of the individual should not be underrated in the journey towards a cleaner, more efficient, future.

Did you know?

One recycled tin could offset the environmental impact of 3 hours of watching television. On a daily basis, if you watch 3 hours of TV per day, you could simply recycle any tins that you consume during the day and sit back watching the TV safe in the knowledge that your not contributing negatively to the environment.

Recycled Paper uses 70% less energy to produce. The next time you pick up paper, why not consider opting for a recycled sheet? If your a business you may find that your customers may treat this as a positive signal – if you care for the environment then your more likely to care for them as a customer.

16% of energy consumption in manufacture goes into the packaging. Maybe you don’t judge a book by its cover, or the products your want to buy based on the packaging, but you may be surprised to find that the investment businesses make in packaging comes at a price – to the environment.

9 out of 10 people think recycling is too hard. If recycling was made easier then 9 out of 10 people would be more likely to do it. If your an employer then why not consider providing your employees with the tools they need to make recycling possible and effortless? Even if you don’t own a business what’s stopping you from going out and helping your neighbours to recycle.

Teach A Man How to Fish…

If your recycling then your doing your bit and ensuring that your contribution towards the environment is a positive one. In short your an asset to the environment and your input will be appreciated by your grandchildren in years to come. However, imagine how much more impact you could have if you managed to get others to do the same as you.

That’s right, rather than just doing your bit why not get others to follow suit? You could get your family and friends to do the same thing, and then get them to get their friends to recycle and so on. In doing so the impact of your actions could multiply exponentially.

If you ensure that you do your bit, and do your best to get others on board then the problem of environment change could well be one that has less ramifications than it looks like it might if things continue as they are now. Make sure that you can say you’ve done your bit, and that you get as much people as you can on board.

CIWA can help you with Waste Management and Recycling

CIWA can help you with Waste Management and Recycling

Concern over our environment has seen a massive increase in recycling globally which has grown to be an important part of modern civilization.

As a society we manage to produce a vast amount of materials that are just thrown away, waste management is the collection of these materials in order to recycle them and as a result decrease their effects on our health, our surroundings and the environment. Practices in waste management are different the world over, dependent on certain issues such as how developed the nation is, if it is a city or rural area and so on. The management of waste is not only the responsibility of governments and the manufacturer, but also an individual’s duty. Waste management is an issue that has to be dealt with daily in order to control the huge amounts of waste currently passing through our towns and cities.

Australia is one such country that is giving attention and priority to how it handles its waste, and this has resulted in the emergence of companies offering environmental services for resource recovery and recycling. To reduce the impacts of waste and unwanted resources on the environment it is important to educate the populace about waste items and how they can be processed or recycled.

There are several resource recovery systems in place and facilities that have been developed to deal with these issues. Natural recovery systems make use of of food, organic and green waste and are then dealt with in in-vessel compost systems, whilst materials collected for recycling include glass, plastic bags, metals and paper. Automated and manual methods are used to sort materials from construction sites, such as brick, tiles and concrete and after being sorted are re-used for road base and construction materials. E-waste (electronic waste) comes from items such as old computers which are taken apart in order to recover materials like cabling, aluminium, copper, glass and plastics. Bioreactor landfills are deployed to generate green energy through the capturing of biogas from municipal waste. There is also help provided for councils to award innovative technologies which can be used to recover recyclables.

We can all help out when it comes to waste management and recycling products. It may not seem effective to recycle products as a household, but put all those households together and you will produce a result. It is each person’s responsibility to do what they can to conserve resources, reduce landfill volumes and produce new materials using less energy. Some cities in developed nations keep a record of their resource recovery systems in order to identify if they are working effectively, evaluate them and update them if necessary, this information can then be passed onto other areas or nations to help them in the recycle challenge. Deciding to recycle is a simple step and surprisingly easy to start. If you are unsure where to begin there are lots of resources, including the local environmental sector, who will be eager to teach you how to recycle your leftover waste and check on the internet too for information.

Zero Waste

Zero waste is a perception change. It requires rethinking what we have traditionally regarded as garbage and treating all materials as valued resources instead of items to discard. Zero waste entails shifting consumption patterns, more carefully managing purchases, and maximizing the reuse of materials at the end of their useful life. Achieving zero waste entails encouraging San José, its residents, and its businesses to reevaluate what we view as waste.

CIWA Inc is actively working with San Jose county to control waste management in Southbay area.

Why Waste Prevention Is Important

No More Waste

In San José, 30% of the total waste generated was sent to the landfill in 2009. Of this total, 185,000 tons came from residential sources, 200,000 tons came from commercial, industrial and institutional sources, and 184,000 tons came from construction and demolition sources.

San José leads the nation with one of the highest recycling rates for a city of its size. But more can be done. Through its Green Vision goals, San José has committed to eliminate its waste from going to landfills by 2022 by preventing waste at its source, increasing recycling and converting anything left over to energy. We are developing a Zero Waste Plan to divert 100% of waste from the landfill by 2022.

Why Waste Prevention Is Important

As the population of the world and the Bay Area continues to grow, efficient use of available resources is becoming increasingly important, because:

  • Landfill capacity is reaching its limit locally.
  • Landfills compete with other land uses, such as residential, business, industry, transportation and recreational uses.
  • It is expensive to transport waste to distant disposal sites.
  • Extraction of raw materials for the manufacture of new goods is threatening natural ecosystems around the world.
