Introduction
* Tires
01
Energy generation and retreading were the first
ways of recycling tires. With improvements in
technology, new options arose, such as mixing
with asphalt.
Retreading is now widely practiced, and
lengthens the life of tires by 40%, but the majority
of used tires still end up in garbage dumps, by
the roadside, or even in the back yards, where
they become breeding places for insects that
spread diseases.
* Plastics
Plastics are made from oil, and when recycles
they consume only 10% of the energy required
to make the same amount from raw materials.
Like glass, plastic is also not biodegradable.
Therefore, because of this and its increasing
usage, recycling becomes essential.
* Glass
Waste glass has a number of uses, including
the production of asphalt, foam, fiberglass,
costume jewelry and reflective paints.
* Cardboard
Fifty (50) kilos of used paper transformed in new
paper prevents a tree from being cut.
