  Plastic Recycling: The Process, Advantages and Disadvantages Plastic is one of the most versatile materials of our modern age. And yet the popularity of plastic is the problem. We use 20 times more plastic now than we did 50 years ago and masses of this material is finding its way into the landfill to spend hundreds of years taking up space. Plastic pollution   is  the accumulation of plastic objects and particles (e.g. plastic bottles, bags and microbeads) in the Earth's environment that adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat, and humans.  Plastics that act as pollutants are categorized into micro-, meso-, or macro debris, based on size. What is the Process of Recycling Plastic? With countries all over the world under pressure to create a more sustainable future and populations more aware of the need to reduce and reuse, plastic recycling is carried out on a larger scale than ever before. The process involves the following: Recyclable materials are collected from homes a

 Devastating Effects of Global Warming That Will Leave You Spellbound In the past, scientists have been skeptical of blaming  increasing temperatures on global warming . As we head into future ventures of technology and ingenuity, the science community has steadily stepped on board with the Environmental Protection Agency and other believers in global warming to do something about it. Like never before, scientists are seeing growth rates of increased climate change. Melting polar ice-caps, the collapse of vegetation and wildlife, and violent surges of hurricanes more rampant in the past are all concerning reasons to understand how  climate change  can affect so many facets on planet earth. Global warming doesn’t just mean the earth’s getting warmer. Global warming’s massive impact on social, economic, and physical health are areas for great distress. Devastating Effects of Global Warming 1. Melting of Glaciers The melting of glaciers will create a plethora of problems for humankind a

Common Causes of Plastic Pollution There are many reasons why plastic pollution takes place. The biggest contributing factor has to be human activities because they are the ones that manufacture plastics and then introduce them into the environment. Some of the common causes of this type of pollution include: 1. Plastic bags from shopping:  When you buy items from the retail store, chances are that they’ll be packaged in plastic bags. Most of them are thermoplastics that are produced in large quantities. When these plastics have been used, they are usually thrown away or discarded because the next time you go back to th

  10 worst single-use plastics and eco-friendly alternatives Plastic is an incredible material, made to last forever So what’s the deal with  single-use plastics ? Around 40% of plastics consumed are single-use. While convenient, they’re discarded after just one use. The amount of time, energy and effort that goes into producing, exporting and importing these products just doesn’t add up — especially if they’re made to last forever. Where do single-use plastics go once we’v e  used them?Shockingly, only 12% of plastics used in Australia ends up recycled. For years, we’ve been sending our plastic waste overseas to be processed, but now countries like China have refused to accept 99% of our rubbish. These days,  our recyclable  waste often ends up stockpiled in landfill, littered by the sides of roads, in our parks, nature and oceans.Something needs to change. Here are the 10 worst  single-use plastics  and some eco-friendly alternatives you can swap them for! 1. Plastic Straws In Austra

  The recycling of e-waste is both ecologically desirable and necessary. It promotes reuse of recoverable materials, thereby reducing their rate of extraction. However, resource recovery from e-waste involves convoluted chemical processes with potentially hazardous by-products, so the regulation of e-waste recycling activities is imperative. E-waste represents electronic waste. Generally, the electronics items which we can reuse, recycle, resale or dispose of are the potential e-waste items. These days, e-waste includes a wide rundown of materials. For example, computers, office electronic equipment, entertainment device electronics, mobile phones, television sets, forced air systems, and refrigerators.These days, e-waste is a consuming issue both in developing and developed countries. The load of e-waste is becoming very quick. Therefore, this creates a requirement for effective recycling. As per a recent report by Assocham-Ckinetics, India is the fifth largest e-waste producer and i
