Waste Management and Recycling

Waste Management and Recycling

To protect our environment, it is very important to reduce waste, manage it properly and maximise recycling. Waste is any substance or material that has been used but is not wanted anymore. This is either because it is worn out, broken or no longer has any purpose. Everyone produces waste and our waste has an impact on all ecosystems. However, most of us do not know where our garbage goes. There are many types of waste. There is liquid waste (in our drains), there are gases hiding in the air (like pollutants from factories), and there is solid waste (garbage) we put in our waste bins.
