Waste materials

The waste was brought back to Germany where it was disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.

The organic waste is processed in a fermentation plant, producing compost and methane, which is used to produce electricity in a 25 megawatt power plant. The electricity is returned to the city s power grid, while the heat exhaust is piped to the facility s greenhouses, which produce tomatoes, strawberries, and orchids.

46. Together with improving the productivity of energy and material resources, there is an urgent need to reduce the generation of waste in human settlements by promoting recycling and reuse.

Plastics are also hard to recycle.

Solid waste

When adjusting emissions from solid waste disposal sites or waste water treatment, the recovery of the methane needs to be considered.

When adjusting emissions from solid waste disposal sites or waste water treatment, the recovery of the methane needs to be considered.

Now because the plastics are so plentiful and by the way, those other methods don't lead to the recovery of plastics, obviously but people do try to recover the plastics.

That's the percentage we recycle.

Reportedly, people throughout Java are practising this method of recycling wastes.

Recycled plastics material means material recovered from used industrial packagings that has been cleaned and prepared for processing into new packagings.

Urges all Governments to take appropriate legislative and other measures, in line with their international obligations, to prevent the illegal international trafficking in toxic and hazardous products and wastes, the transfer of toxic and hazardous products and wastes through fraudulent waste recycling programmes, and the transfer of polluting industries, industrial activities and technologies, which generate hazardous wastes, from developed to developing countries
