Reduce The Usage Of Plastics & Save Environment

Posted on June 6, 2018June 12, 2018 by Dinesh

In London, plastic wastes are generated from many sources like industries, working areas, commercial places, etc. The waste materials like plastic wastes and the rubber materials are really dangerous to the human beings and the surrounding environment. Hence these waste materials should be taken care to be disposed of in a safe way to preserve the environment.

Plastic materials are the real harm to the environment and the human beings. Burning of plastic wastes will cause many health issues to the human beings causing various diseases. It is impossible to totally avoid the plastic usage, but we can just reduce the usage by finding some other alternatives. We can use decomposable materials instead of the plastic materials.

Throwing of the plastic bags and the other non-decomposable wastes on the open land will deposit on the sand and will take many years to naturally degrade. Also, these wastes materials in the land will not allow the rain water to penetrate inside and will result in the reduction of the groundwater level. Plastic wastes are more harmful to the agricultural lands.

As a resident of London, you should make sure that all the non-decomposable wastes like plastics, rubber materials, metal scraps from your source are disposed of in a very safe manner. The only way to dispose of these wastes is by recycling. In London, Environment Agency Approved rubbish removal companies like QuickWasters will collect the wastes from many different sources and will dispose of them in a safe way by recycling. Quickwasters will send the non-decomposable wastes to the recycling plants in London to dispose of them safely.

Quickwasters has connections with many recycling companies in London to ensure the safe disposal of non-decomposable waste materials in London. Hence reduce the usage of Plastics and maintain an eco-friendly environment in London.

What is Upcycling?

Upcycling is the process of converting the useless or the old materials into something useful and the beautiful things. You can upcycle the products like plastic wastes, wood wastes and convert them into some useful things or beautiful products to decorate your house. Here let’s see some benefits of upcycling.

Benefits Of Upcycling:

Usually, many of the waste materials are thrown into the open lands or in the landfills. The main advantage of upcycling the products is that the landfills are reduced and instead which the waste materials like plastics, wood are used again in some way.

The main advantage of upcycling the waste materials is that it saves the environment. As the need for raw materials is more in the production of new materials like wooden furniture, paper, etc. Reusing the old products and recycling the wastes to use in the production of the materials again will help in saving the environment.

Also, you can make your home or garden even more beautiful by decorating it with the waste materials. For example, plastic bottles can be used as a sprinkler by making holes and connecting it to the water line. Also, you can create good looking toys and other things with the help of the plastic wastes or wood wastes. This can be kept in the showcase of the house, as it looks beautiful.

As a normal people, we should make sure to hand over the environment in the same way to the younger generations to lead a healthy life. Proper waste disposal will ensure that the eco-friendly environment is maintained.

Contact Quickwasters in London for all kind of waste clearance services. Quickwasters team will collect the waste materials from any source in London and will dispose of them in a safe way without causing any dangerous hazard to the human beings or the outside environment.

Why Recycling in London So Important?

Posted on October 25, 2017 by Dinesh

London is the busy city with a number of new business evolving each day. Also due to the increased population, the amount of waste production is also very high. The waste management in London is becoming tough day by day, In this case, bin pickers, waste landfills sites, litter pickers around the city literally will have the tough job to deal with. Waste management in these big cities should be taken care to avoid the hazardous effects in the future.

Recycling avoids landfills

Landfills are the method by which the bio-degradable wastes are dumped in large volume. This bio-degradable wastes are also processed by the compost method and converted into an organic manure or energy like gas, heat, etc. Landfills are the last place where the rubbish sit underground for long and long years. Recycling will convert the waste into the reusable material rather than dumping into the landfills. Recycling the waste materials will also help in the production of new materials. the disadvantage of landfills is that waste materials remain underground without degrading for many years.

The waste materials like plastics, metal scraps, rubber tires, glass pieces are found in an abundant manner. These waste materials should not be thrown in public areas, water bodies, agricultural fields, etc. These waste materials should be disposed of in a safe and eco-friendly manner. The proper waste disposal is taken care by the waste clearance companies in London. The rubbish removal companies will collect the waste from all the sources, will segregate the wastes and also will send the non-decomposable wastes to the recycling plant.

The waste materials like metal scraps are melted and used in the production again. Though the energy involved in melting the old metals is high when compared to the energy involved in manufacturing the metal from its raw materials. It is important for the industries to recycle the waste materials in order to preserve the environment. The waste collected from the various parts of the city are disposed of safely by the rubbish clearance companies in London.

Burning of plastic bags, PVC materials will produce the toxic smoke. This smoke contains the chemical agent called dioxin which is injurious to human health. The dioxin has the direct effect on the human immune system leading to various diseases. So to avoid all these hazardous effects, the waste clearance companies involve in the activities of collecting and disposing of the wastes safely in eco-friendly manner.

Benefits Of Recycling Non Biodegradable Materials

The Collection of waste materials from the various sources may contain both bio-degradable and non bio-degradable materials in it. These wastes are segregated separately to dispose of them in an eco-friendly manner. The wastes like plastics materials, glass materials, metal scraps, etc must be taken care to dispose of safely. the non-decomposable waste materials are sent to the recycling plants for reuse.

Plastics materials and rubber tires are burnt in many cases as the manner of disposing of them. The smoke that is produced by burning plastics, rubber materials are more toxic to human health and the environment as well. The plastic smoke may damage the immune system, interfere with hormones and also may cause diseases like cancer. Burning the plastic releases dioxin, Dioxins are more injurious to human health and the plants as well, Dioxins will deposit on the crops and in the water bodies. If the humans intake the food containing dioxins, then it will directly affect the immune system. Carbon dioxide is enormously produced by burning the trashes, this has the significant effect in the ecosystem.

The safe way to dispose of the plastic wastes is by recycling. In this method, the non-decomposable plastic wastes are collected in a large manner and then sent to the recycling plant. The metal scraps are collected in a large manner and melted to reuse them in the production. In this method, the energy needed to produce metal from the raw materials is very less on comparing to melting the old metal scraps. Though it involves lots of energy consumption, it is only the efficient way to dispose of the metal scraps.

Waste materials like rubber tires can be sent back to the retailers who will process it and use again in the production. The burning of the rubber tires will also produce toxic smoke which will have hazardous effect in the human health and environment as well.

The Waste Clearance companies will collect the waste in the large amount, They will also segregate the waste into decomposable and non-decomposable wastes. The biodegradable material is sent to the compost for organic bio-degradation. The organic bio degradable wastes are converted into energy like gas, heat or manure whereas the non-bio degradable wastes like plastics, PVC, metals are sent for recycling. The proper disposal of the wastes is taken care by the waste clearance companies. They will ensure that the disposal of wastes occurs in a safe and eco-friendly manner.

Tips For Converting Waste Into Energy

Posted on October 20, 2017 by Dinesh

Wastes are generated in an abundant manner from domestic areas, industrial areas, organizational areas, etc. The waste material may contain both decomposable and non-decomposable materials in it. The special care must be taken to segregate the wastes and to dispose of them safely in an eco-friendly manner. The decomposable materials can be processed and converted into energy.

Waste treatment is the process of generating electricity or heat energy from the decomposable waste materials. The waste materials are collected in the large amount from the domestic and industrial areas, They are then dumped into large pits. Later these wastes are burned to produce the heat energy. Thus, in this case, the waste is converted into thermal energy. Now, this thermal energy is converted into the electric energy by turning the turbine on.

Another energy source from the garbage wastes is methane gas. The methane gas is produced from the waste decays which can be used as a fuel. The Kitchen wastes can be utilized well to generate energy.

Steps to convert kitchen waste into energy:

Initially, the wastes are separated into dry wastes and wet wastes. These wastes are stored in separate trash cans. Once the cans are full the wastes are dumped into composts. The compost is also filled with dry leaves. The semi-composted materials like buttermilk, cow dung, etc are added to start the decomposition process. The pile is turned around daily to make sure that it is maintained at the right level of dampness. If the pile is too wet then the dry leaves are added. If the pile is too dry then water is added. The compost is left as like for more than a month to decompose. After two months the compost will turn out into a manure which can be used in agricultural fields.

The bio-degradable wastes can be converted into energy or manure. Whereas the non bio-degradable wastes must be taken care to dispose of safely in an eco-friendly manner. The non decomposable wastes like plastics, rubber tires, etc are sent to the recycling plant for reuse. Other waste materials like metal scraps, glasses are also treated in the same way. Throwing of the wastes into the agricultural lands must be avoided in order to preserve the environment. Burning of plastic wastes and rubber tires will produce toxic gases which are injurious to human health and hazardous to the environment as well. The waste clearance companies will involve in recovering the solid wastes and disposing of them in a safe eco-friendly manner.

Recycle or Upcycle?

Posted on June 26, 2017June 26, 2017 by Quick Wasters

Either is good and here is why!

Everyone should be concerned about the planets future and how the damage we are doing to it on a daily basis will alter the way the future generations live their lives.

The reason that recycling is so important so we use less energy and produce less materials that can cause harm to wildlife.

Another way of helping is by upcycling. This is similar to recycling but without actually throwing items away. What happens is that you turn unwanted items into something completely new and useable.

Upcycling is all about putting your thinking cap on and being a little creative and this is one of the reasons people do it, a hobby can turn into something productive. Using an old wine bottle as a candle holder,

It is not a new idea and it goes back many years to the 1930’s when time was very tough for families and you had to make do with what you have and make things last as long as possible. This would cut the cost of spending on new things and you reduce the amount of waste that goes into the rubbish removal cycle.

Conclusion:

Both recycling and upcycling are great and they both reduce greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and pollution so do as much as you possibly can! You can get some great, creative ideas of what to do here!
