Waste hierarchy

The waste hierarchy refers to the 3Rs of reduce, reuse and recycle, which classify waste management strategies according to their desirability. The 3Rs are meant to be a hierarchy, in order of importance.

    Covanta Energy's Paul Gilman on Integrated Waste Management for a Sustainable World Part 3

    Part 3 of 3: Paul Gilman, Chief Sustainability Officer for Covanta Energy, shares the positive results of a study on the environmental influence of following the European waste hierarchy which includes energy recovery. Gilman served as a guest speaker during the Green Public Forum inside the EPA@40 area at the 6th Annual National Sustainable Design Expo on the National Mall in Washington, DC, on April 24 - 25, 2010. The Expo brought together students, scientists, engineers, and business leaders whose innovative technologies are designed to advance economic growth while reducing environmental impact. The event was cosponsored by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and AIChEs Institute for Sustainability (IfS).

Recycling prevents useful material resources being wasted, reduces the consumption of raw materials and reduces energy usage, and hence greenhouse gas emissions, compared to virgin production.[1] Recycling is a key concept of modern waste management and is the third component of the waste hierarchy. Recyclable materials, also called "recyclables" or "recyclates", may originate from a wide range of sources including the home and industry. They include glass, paper, aluminium, asphalt, iron, textiles and plastics. Biodegradable waste, such as food waste or garden waste, is also recyclable with the assistance of micro-organisms through composting or anaerobic digestion. Recyclates need to be ...

    materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.[1][2] Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy. Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics. Although similar in effect, the composting or other reuse of biodegradable waste such as food or garden waste is not typically considered recycling.[2] Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing. In a strict sense, recycling of a material would produce a fresh supply of the same material, for example used office paper to more office paper, or used foamed polystyrene to more polystyrene. However, this is often difficult or too expensive (compared with producing the same product from raw materials or other sources), so "recycling" of many products or materials involves their reuse in producing different materials (eg, paperboard) instead. Another form of recycling is the salvage of certain materials from complex products, either due to their intrinsic value (eg, lead from car batteries, or gold from computer components), or due to their hazardous nature (eg, removal and ...
