How japan deals with landfills?Garbage sorting systemFor
example, garbage was sorted into burnable (red bags), non-burnable
(blue bags), paper, plastic, PET bottles, cans, styrofoam,
newspapers, cartons, unbroken glass, and batteries (white bags,
with different collection days)
Fluidized bed combustionvery efficient way of burning materials
that dont normallyburn easily.fast and intimate mixing of gas and
solids promotes rapid heat transfer and chemical reactions within
the bedcheaper, takes up less space, and produces fewer nitrogen
oxides and less sulphur dioxideRecyclingJapan recycles PET which
stands for polyethylene terephthalate and these are used to make
the drink bottlesA fiber can be spun from recycled PET bottles,
which can then be made into clothes, bags, carpets, and doggy
raincoats.Why Malaysians dont recycle??5 reasons:1. Recycling is
inconvenient.This seems to be the number one reason why people dont
recycle they dont want to put in the extra effort. Some places have
no pick-up. Some people say that they just cant be bothered. Is
that a good enough reason?
2. I do not have enough space in my home to recycle.The lack of
space is an issue for many. People dont want to see garbage and
with little storage space for recycling bins, the trash is an
eyesore. Is that a good enough reason?
3. If they paid me, Id recycle.Some countries fine people for
not recycling. Some regions pay for just bottle recycling (we know
that works). Some areas have no penalties or incentives for
recycling. Is that a good enough reason?
4. Recycling doesnt make a difference. So why do
it?Misinformation about overflowinglandfills, depleted resources
andclimate changeshas convinced some people that recycling doesnt
make a difference. They believe there is no problem. Is that a good
enough reason?
5. It is just to hard to do.Since there are so many facets to
recycling bottle,plastic and paper, its hard to decipher which
kinds go where. Is that a good enough reason?
