Question

Are there any new or interested or on-going ideas that could recycle a waste into something else?

I am having a project right now where I have to come out with a few recycling out of waste ideas which are new. When recycling, I was told that it really means recycling, forming a new material or product out of the waste, and not reusing it.

Answer 1

Anaerobic digestion tunnel method. Take any waste which can decompose(no plastic or Styrofoam please) makes gas which is burned off cleanly (coal not needed) use heat produced by gas to make electricity and heats water for radiant heat in building or close by. Secondary product is very good quality compost( with the use of this you have no need for fertilizers).

With this you need much less landfill,no coal,no water pollution from fertilizers. Europe has been doing this for quite some time. They do not have the space for landfills.

Answer 2

How about all park benches and road signs being made of 100% post consumer recyled materials such as plastic bottles and cans.

How about all trash dumps being recycled into methane production facilities like Mt. Trashmore in Virginia Beach, VA.

How about recylcling used tires into parking lots, sidewalks and walking trails.

Answer 3

we could recycle terrorists and child sexual predators into mulch for our gardens!

Answer 4

well there are some genious kids in Ft. Myers (florida) who are huffing p**p and pee gasses.... They p**p and pee in a bottle and put a ballon on it. they let it ferment in the sun for like 3 days then huff the gasses. Maybe you can use cow patties and make clay to make biodigredable outdoor pottery.

Answer 5

take the stuff (plastics,papers,aluminum,etc) to a recycling factory

Answer 8
