Garbage classification has received widespread attention, so what is the significance of garbage classification? What are the benefits?


1、 What is the meaning of garbage classification?
1. It is a reform of the traditional way of garbage recycling and disposal, and is currently one of the most effective scientific management methods.
The purpose is to utilize the existing production level, classify the discarded materials into categories, utilize effective substances and energy, and landfill useless waste. This not only improves the level of garbage resource utilization, but also reduces the amount of garbage disposal. It is an important way and means to achieve waste reduction and resource utilization.
3. It can also involve the entire population in relevant knowledge training, which can enhance society's attention to the environmental protection industry, increase the employment rate of sanitation workers, and create an atmosphere of respect and concern for sanitation workers.


2、 What are the benefits of garbage classification?
1. Reduce land occupation and improve land use efficiency. Some household waste contains harmful substances that are not easily degraded, causing serious damage to the land. If classification can remove recyclable materials and reduce the number of landfills by more than 60%.
2. Reduce waste pollution and protect the ecological environment. Currently, landfill is commonly used for garbage treatment in China, occupying a large amount of land area and causing uncomfortable phenomena such as increased mosquitoes, turbulent sewage flow, and unpleasant odors. In addition, waste plastic in the soil can lead to reduced crop production. If ingested by animals, it can harm their health or even lead to death, and can pollute water resources, which is also closely related to human health. Recycling can reduce such hazards.
3. Transforming waste into treasure and effectively utilizing resources. According to relevant data, China uses up to 4 billion plastic fast food boxes, 1 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks, and 500 to 700 million instant noodle bowls annually, accounting for about 15% of domestic waste. So, one ton of waste plastic can extract 600 kilograms of diesel. Recycling 1500 tons of waste paper can avoid logging 1200 tons of paper trees. After melting one ton of cans, they can form one ton of aluminum blocks, which can reduce the mining of mineral resources by 20 tons. 30% -40% of our household waste can be recycled and utilized reasonably, which is a resource with small profits.




In addition, some other substances can also be transformed into resources, such as food, vegetation and fabrics that can be composted to produce organic fertilizers; Waste incineration can generate electricity, heat or refrigeration; Bricks, tiles, and lime can be processed into building materials. Various solid wastes mixed together are garbage, but sorted out are resources. If the potential of resources contained in the recycling of household waste can be fully tapped, Beijing can obtain an annual economic benefit of 1.1 billion yuan. It can be seen that timely classified recycling and reuse for production is currently the best way to solve the problem of garbage. Obviously, garbage sorting is of great significance and has many benefits, which can bring significant benefits to the ecological, social and economic aspects. I hope you can actively participate in it!
