Solid Waste Recycling

Abstract

As a result of the steady increase in the number of people on the surface of the Earth, which has increased the amount of waste produced daily, especially what is known as solid waste, which has made people think about the most appropriate ways to get rid of this waste, which has been defined by various parties. They agreed that it is what results from human activities on a daily basis and is of no importance. Then we learned about the sources and components of this waste, and it was necessary to estimate some elements and compounds due to their importance in storage and transportation and treating that waste. Since the amount of waste produced daily per person varies according to the standard of living, the technology for managing that waste varies from one place to another and from time to time. The importance of recycling solid waste includes multiple aspects, including environmental, social, health, and economic aspects. This technology also has many difficulties. In the latest study published on World Environment Day 2024, Austria and Wales were among the countries in the world that benefit most from waste recycling. The stages of solid waste recycling consist of collection, processing, manufacturing and purchasing of products. As for the latest methods for recycling some types of solid waste, we mentioned chemical recycling and mechanical recycling.
