Selection/ Reuse and Recycling of Materials

1.) __________ is the action or practice of using an item, whether for its original
purpose or to fulfill a different function.

2.) What plastic is best for food storage?

3.) Why some plastics is not good for food storage?

4.) Wood used for buildings and structures from the 18th to the early 20th century
that can be use for a new purpose?

5.) Glass bottle that are accepted for return after use.

6.) Reusing of materials can _________.

7.) Which of the following is NOT an advantage of reusing materials?

8.) What are the three R’s of environmental sustainability?

9.) It is a type of economy where people take raw materials and manufacture it to
consume or use. Then, repair the material to reuse and recycle it to get
transported for manufacturing where people consume it again as well as repair to
reuse and recycle to be manufactured, repeating the process.

10.) It focuses on minimizing wastes or to cut back on the amount of wastes we

generate.

11.) The processing of plastic waste into secondary raw material without significantly
changing the chemical structure of the material.

12.) The recovery of energy that would normally be wasted in industrial processes by
flaring, exhausting to the atmosphere or operating low efficiency equipment, and
converting it into electricity or thermal energy (steam or heated water).

13.) Among all types of recycling, it is the most complex method. In this process,
structures of plastics are modified after reprocessing them. It is an expensive
process and requires a large amount of plastic available.
14.) Service provided to households for the disposal of refuse. In this service, trucks
collect waste and deliver it to either a landfill or a recycling plant where it is
processed for reuse.

15.) Is the segregation of different types of solid waste at the location where they are
generated (a household or business). The number and types of categories into
which wastes are divided usually depends on the collection system used and the
destination of the wastes. The most common reason for separating wastes at the
source is for recycling.

16.) Established as multi-recycling centers, for the buying, sorting and resale of
various plastics materials and other recyclables such as paper, cans and glass or
bottles. Facilities that pay a fee to waste collectors for the delivery of recyclables in
the areas which they operate. These centers provide a vehicle for waste reclaimers
to earn an income.

17.) A lawful collection site for the acceptance by donation, redemption, or purchase
of recyclable materials from the public. Such a facility does not use power-driven
processing equipment.

18.) Critical to increasing the amount of waste that is recycled, as well as quality of
recycled materials. From individual household input to huge commercial waste
loads, everyone has a role to play in effectively sorting waste. Waste is sorted
according to material, recyclability, or any process required.
19.) Waste produced by industrial activity which includes any material that is
rendered useless during a manufacturing process such as that of factories, mills,
and mining operations.

20.) Generally, most recyclers accept plastics _____and____. Plastics #3 to #6 are

more difficult to recycle, and some recycling centers do not process them. Plastic #7
is even more difficult to recycle and almost always excluded.
