How japan deals

with landfills?

Garbage sorting system

For example, garbage was sorted
into burnable (red bags), nonburnable (blue bags), paper, plastic,
PET bottles, cans, styrofoam,
newspapers, cartons, unbroken glass,
and batteries (white bags, with
different collection days)

Fluidized bed combustion

very efficient way of burning materials
that dont normallyburn easily.
fast and intimate mixing of gas and solids
promotes rapid heat transfer and chemical
reactions within the bed
cheaper, takes up less space, and
produces fewer nitrogen oxides and less
sulphur dioxide

Recycling
Japan recycles PET which stands for
polyethylene terephthalate and these
are used to make the drink bottles
A fiber can be spun from recycled
PET bottles, which can then be made
into clothes, bags, carpets, and
doggy raincoats.

Why Malaysians dont

recycle??

5 reasons:
1. Recycling is inconvenient.
This seems to be the number one reason why people dont recycle they dont want to put in the
extra effort. Some places have no pick-up. Some people say that they just cant be bothered. Is
that a good enough reason?
2. I do not have enough space in my home to recycle.
The lack of space is an issue for many. People dont want to see garbage and with little storage
space for recycling bins, the trash is an eyesore. Is that a good enough reason?
3. If they paid me, Id recycle.
Some countries fine people for not recycling. Some regions pay for just bottle recycling (we know
that works). Some areas have no penalties or incentives for recycling. Is that a good enough
reason?
4. Recycling doesnt make a difference. So why do it?
Misinformation about overflowinglandfills, depleted resources andclimate changeshas
convinced some people that recycling doesnt make a difference. They believe there is no
problem. Is that a good enough reason?
5. It is just to hard to do.
Since there are so many facets to recycling bottle,plastic and paper, its hard to decipher which
kinds go where. Is that a good enough reason?

THANK YOU!! =)
