प्रश्न
How is segregation of the waste helpful?
उत्तर
The process of separating various waste "materials" is referred to as waste segregation. It refers to the separation of garbage at the place of generation into dry and wet waste or biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste, such as paper, plastic, metal, glass, and organic waste. The following are some applications where waste segregation can be beneficial:
- Reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills: The quantity of waste that ends up in landfills can be decreased by segregating waste items so that recyclables can be kept out of the dump and transported for recycling.
- Helps to conserve resources: Waste segregation lowers the demand for new raw materials, helping save resources. New resource requirements are decreased when waste products are recycled and used to create new items.
- Reduces pollution: By decreasing the quantity of garbage in landfills, waste segregation contributes to pollution reduction. Due to their release of hazardous chemicals, greenhouse gasses, and other pollutants into the atmosphere, landfills are a significant source of pollution.
