One of the most popular method of recyling is physical reprocessing. This is common in most countries. This is the method of taking waste materials such as empty beverage containers and using the material to create new materials via skips. Normally waste materials that can be physically reprocessed are usually collected by the local government and are then reprocessed into new products. Some common materials that are physically reprocessed include: aluminum beverage cans, steel food cans, glass bottles, newpapers, magazines, and cardboard. Biological reprocessing is another common method of recycling that many people do. Materials such as plants, food scraps, and paper products can be decomposed into the organic matter. The organic matter that is produced from this type of recycling can then be used for such things as landscaping purpose or agricultural uses. Usually this method of recycling is done by putting the materials in a dedicated container and let to stay there until it decomposes. The final method of of recycling is Energy recovery. This method harnesses directly and indirectly the combustion fuel and other types of fuel produced from waste. These types of fuel can be produced by thermal treatment of the waste and used for such things as cooking or heating. The thermal treatment is usually done under very high pressure in a sealed vessel. Avoidance and Reduction Methods The avoidance and reduction of waste is a very important part of waste management. By reducing waste it helps the environment and everyone in it. Some methods of avoidance include the reuse of second-hand products, repairing broken items and using them again, and desinging products that are resusable. As well consumers are encouraged to not use disposable products and use products are designed to help the environment.
