Everyone today has heard of how important it is to recycle and most cities offer a recycling program, but what exactly is recycling and how beneficial is it really to us and the environment?
Recycling is the process of turning one products useful part into a new product; this is done to conserve on the consumption of resources, energy and space used in landfills.Recycling can also be done in exceptionally creative methods. Mr. Shabbir, working for “Hamna” household decors says “The cardboard cartons filled with decors are not discarded but recycled effectively by cutting them and gluing them in the shape of folders or small shelves to store papers or keeping light weight stuff on the shelf”. These kind of acts do not only keep environment green but also helps people to understand the importance of recycling and reusing most of the items and also helps cut down extra expenditures.
Many of the times we hear people recycling aluminum or papers but the myth of recycling glass amaze many of us. “The glass bulbs are used to make the kite thread (manjha). It is highly skilled art as it requires a long process to get the sharp thread so that it helps fight the other kites”, says mridul, a kite retailer in meena bazaar.
Well apart from all these even technology can be reused without wasting a great deal out of them. Many of the cell phone retailers think that it is one of the great ways to recycle n secure technology. Cell phone batteries, chargers, cameras and various other parts which are in good shape are recycled by placing them into other cell phones which lack these parts. According to 2009 report, Nokia India launched its “Take Back” initiative to recycle mobile phones in Hyderabad as a part of the nationwide rollout of the program over 25 cities in India by year end. The program is aimed at creating consumer awareness on the benefits of recycling old phones, chargers and accessories. The initiative aims at inducing behavioral change among Indian mobile users to recycle their used handsets in an environmentally sustainable way. "Nokia will plant a tree sapling, for every handset dropped, irrespective of brand or model, into one of its recycling bins and also offer surprise gifts to the consumers.
The average consumer may replace their household carpet once or several times during a 5 year time period. The cost of recycling carpet is equivalent to the cost of dumping used carpet into a landfill, with greater positive environmental impact. The fact figured out during interviewing Mr. Hamid khan was that, “the dumped carpets are taken to factories back and are recycled as the cost is cut down on manufacturing a new one but the old ones are treated chemically and are recycled”.
This grass-roots consumer recycling process can offset the cost of collection and provide a positive community contribution towards the green initiative. It beats leaving old carpeting curb-side, destined for the landfill.
Recycling is a very environmentally green activity; however, there are ways that you can make it greener as well as building a strong beginning if you do not currently recycle. The fact is many of our resources as well as our Earth is not renewable and we have to start taking control of our selves beginning with the world we live in.
