Lesson 2: Product Out of local Recyclable Solid

Materials
Lesson objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the student will be able to:

a) identify local recyclable solid materials that can be used in making

useful products;

c) design a product out of local recyclable solid materials.

GET READY!!

Let’s Review…
Waste management involves the regular collection,
transportation as well as processing and disposal or recycling and
monitoring of different types of waste materials. These services can
save your business a considerable amount of money, and can also
prevent the environment from being harmed.

Motivation: Enumerating Recyclable Materials

Instructions: Name examples of recyclable materials that can be found in school and
community. Write your answers in the table below.

LET’S LEARN!!

Which Materials Can You Recycle?

Recycling, one of the three Rs of environmentalism, is a way to
convert discarded items into new goods. Not everything can be recycled
(yet), but you should be able to find recycling facilities for these five main
categories of household waste.

Glass

Most household glass can be recycled over and over again; just rinse or wash out the
container and recycle. Glass is one of the easiest materials to recycle, so buy products
packaged in glass if you can. Some glass items, such as car windshields, cooking dishes, and
light bulbs, aren’t usually accepted by local recycling systems, so check with your local
government’s waste office to find out how to recycle these items.

Metals

Metal food and drink cans made from aluminum or steel are recyclable, and aluminum
cans in particular are very valuable. You can even recycle used aluminum foil; just be sure cans
and foil are clean.

Organics
Some recyclers include organic materials, such as yard and kitchen waste, in their
regular services, whereas others offer seasonal organics recycling, such as Christmas tree drop-
off locations after the holiday season.
Paper
Nearly every paper item is recyclable, though you should check with your local recycling
service provider before you bring in your milk and juice cartons. These cartons are made of
cardboard sandwiched between very thin layers of plastic, so not all the material is recyclable
and not all centers accept them. If you have a garden, you can recycle your own paper in your
compost pile.
Plastics
Each plastic product has a Plastic Identification Code — a triangle with a number from 1
to 7 inside — usually on the bottom. Most recycling services accept plastics with codes 1 or 2,
which include beverage bottles and containers used for milk, juice, and body-care products.

Ways in Making Useful Materials

There are many ways in making useful materials and products that
will guide you to achieve a better output. Visit the link below and watch
the video. For those who cannot access internet, watch the video that is
saved in your flash drive with the file name “Ways in Making Useful
Products”.

Remember these:

 Recycle is to make something new from something that has been used
before.
 Recycling is important to conserve raw materials and reduce the need
to consume other precious resources.
 Recyclable solid local materials can be made into useful products.
Example:
plastic drinking bottles can be made into flower vase or pots
Juice wrappers can be made into bags
Old newspaper and magazines can be made into pencil holder
Used clothes can be recycled into rags and throw pillows
