Recycling business in the 21st century

F
rom the layman’s view Recycling would be seen to start
from the homes but for the scientist it will be seen to start
in the factory. It is a kind of a good practice to the environment.
Recycling has started solving part of the environmental and
atmospheric problems which we may not see now but would
benefit the future generations. Sometime ago, metals were
removed from the ground before planting crops, especially
around homes. They do not know where to dispose them off
but now it is very difficult to findmetals just lying on the ground.
Metals, in any form have now been turned into money and
people are chasing metals for business. Used plastics have also
been turned into businesswherepeople go roundandpickused
water sachets and sell in the name of recycling. These are forms
of ways by which our environment is been cleaned up, towns
andcities arebeenparadedby individuals in thesearchofmetals
and plastics. There is also a custom in Ghana which uses beads
in celebrating a yearly occasion so recycling of broken bottles
into beads have been their main occupation in that community.
Organic components in thewaste thatwouldbe leftafter sorting
out metals, plastics, and bottles can be used to fertilize crops.
