Question

Have you visited in a recycling plant? What did you learn?

Answer 1

I learnt that we don't recycle half as much stuff as we should. Recycling plants, local government and us as individuals should take more responsibility and become more pro-active where recycling is concerned. It's also better to use renewable sources rather than recycling. Again, the state government should be more active in finding alternative renewable sources of packaging and ban future production of non-renewable products.

Answer 2

Yes.

- It's very messy, but very systematic.

- It's not perfect, but effective.

- It's not cheap to operate, but sets a good model for others to improve on.

- Most of what we throw away can be recycled.

- Not every recycled material is in demand.

Answer 3

Yes.  I learned they use big magnets to seperate ferrous metals from on-ferrous trah.  It's totally cool and very efficient.  They turn on a magnet over a bunch of recyclables and all the ferrous metal jumps up to stick on the magnet.  Then they move it to a seperate pile.

Answer 4

I learned that all of the recycling in the world is not sufficient to stop Global Warming.

Answer 5

I work in company which high respect to environment, We operate waste water recycling system. We can use the waste water for watering our garden and sale the water to other customers. We can get economic benefit if we treated waste as a professional treatment

Answer 6

Yes

Sort your recycleables properly or they are garbage!  The cost of sorting makes recycling many objects too expensive.

I learned that the recycling plants, and the municipalities they work for, should educate the public more.
