Waste Segregation
To make the 3R work, there is a need to separate or segregate trash or garbage. First, know what trash or
garbage that can be recycled and which ones are not.
Then for the non biodegradable wastes, these can be separated or segregated into paper, plastic, metal,
and glass. This is called waste segregation.Yellow,green, red, and blue are the common colors used in
trash bins and containers.
Blue = paper
Red = plastic
Green = glass
Yellow = metal
• Pathological waste
Body parts, human tissues and organs, and fluids associated with pathological sources.
• Chemical Waste
Hazardous chemicals like heavy metals, disinfectants, and solvents from different laboratories
are a part of chemical waste.
• Infectious Waste
This comprises of waste from pathological sources like blood, bodily fluids and infected samples
from various labs as well as hospital waste that can be infectious.
• Genotoxic Waste
Highly dangerous wastes including those from carcinogenic sources, mutagens or hazardous
drugs fall in this category.
• Radioactive Waste
• General Waste
Similarly, chemical waste can cause the groundwater to pollute while toxic waste can literally
lay waste to a whole area, causing irradiation and various diseases (like cancer). The Chernobyl
disaster is a prime example in this case.
Waste prevention reduces the generation of waste in the first place, so it is the most preferred
method of waste management and goes a long way toward protecting the environment. You can
reduce waste by:
Re-Use
Use durable coffee mugs.
Refill bottles.
Reuse boxes.
Purchase refillable pens and pencils.
Participate in a paint collection and reuse program.
Use cloth napkins or towels.
Donate old magazines or surplus equipment.
Turn empty jars into containers for leftover food.
Recycle
Recycling prevents the emissions of many greenhouse gases and water pollutants, and saves
energy.
Using recovered material generates less solid waste. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution
caused by the extraction and processing of virgin materials. Also, when products are made using
recovered rather than virgin materials, less energy is used during manufacturing, and fewer
pollutants are emitted.
Benefits of Recycling
Conserves resources for our children’s future.
Prevents emissions of many greenhouse gases and water pollutants.
Saves energy.
Supplies valuable raw materials to industry.
Creates jobs.
Stimulates the development of greener technologies.
Reduces the need for new landfills and incinerators.
