More about Recycling
Recycling is the reprocessing of materials into new products. Recycling generally prevents the waste of potentially useful materials, reduces the consumption of raw materials and reduces energy usage, and hence greenhouse gas emissions, compared to virgin production. Recycling is a key concept of modern waste management and is the third component of the waste hierarchy.
Recyclable materials, also called "recyclables", may originate from a wide range of sources including the home and industry. They include glass, paper, aluminium, asphalt, iron, textiles and plastics. Biodegradable waste, such as food waste or garden waste, is also recyclable with the assistance of micro-organisms through composting or anaerobic digestion.
Recyclates are sorted and separated into material types. Contamination of the recylates with other materials must be prevented to increase the recyclates' value and facilitate easier reprocessing for the ultimate recycling facility. This sorting can be performed either by the producer of the waste or within semi- or fully-automated materials recovery facilities.
There are two common household methods of recycling. In curbside collection, consumers leave presorted recyclable materials in front of their property to be collected by a recycling vehicle. With a "bring" or carry-in system, the householder takes the materials to collection points, such as transfer stations or civic amenity sites.

For Parents:
With recent concerns about global warming, it is therefore important to increase young children's awareness of various recycling methods. Everyone can do their part for the world that we live in.
Instead of throwing Yakult bottles away after drinking, the children made use of these plastic bottles to create their own shakers. How innovative of them!
The children poured green beans into the empty Yakult bottles and secured two bottles together with tape. The teachers helped to paste the construction papers over the bottles before the children decorated them with colourful gems. Now, everyone has a DIY shaker to bring home. Music, please? Yippie!
Cheers,
Angeline
