Let’s face it – wherever you may be living in whichever part of the world, one thing is for sure. Waste is simply piling up bit by bit at literally every single part of the planet as a whole. Even the most hardened optimists of the matter would be forced to agree that there is a desperate situation at hand here. Whether it happens to be the case of green waste Rubbish removals or anything else, the problems just seem to be piling up day by day.
The other problem most of us tend to simply overlook is the fact that most waste in general is non-biodegradable thus causing various forms of pollution as well. Hence, it is absolutely imperative that we find ways to reduce waste as soon as possible since time is certainly not on our side in the regard. Having said that, here are a few of the ways to go about it :-
Waste-To-Energy Power:
Now what could be a better solution than this as it not only deals with the absurd amounts of waste at hand, but it also happens to utilize that very waste for energy purposes. Sure, it isn’t really as simple and straightforward as it sounds but in any case, it remains quite the viable option nonetheless.
Not to forget that this itself is bound to generate a whole new number of different revenue streams that would help most people out there looking for jobs as well. Being a large variety of options, now these can range from waste disposal to the sale of various recyclable items as well. Now this is something a great number of people out there do tend to overlook from time to time.
With predictions already running high with regard to the prediction of commercial waste being increased to 50% it shouldn’t be that far fetched to assume that in the future, local waste will actually be used to produce local electricity as well. Now that would really be something.
Recycling:
A lot of people have prefered leaning more towards recycling as a major and better alternative while citing that the waste-to-energy technique would be too costly for most countries to implement across the board. While that may hold true as of today, there is no telling what the future ultimately holds for us. All we can do is predict.
In any case, recycling does tend to come across as simply making an inefficient system more effective rather than tackling the problems of that particular system at its very roots. That tends to be less indicative of a permanent change and more the case of a temporary fix if anything else. After all, no matter how beneficial the process of recycling is, it cannot be used in the case of toxic, non-biodegradable products (at least for the time being) plus there is also the fact that recycling itself ends up consuming more resources.
It may also be worthwhile to note that the additional problem of landfills toxifying groundwater and the general landscape also needs to be addressed properly in as many places as possible. Only then will we be able to truly deal with the problem at its very root plus red tape, delays and mismanagement need to be absolutely curtailed to a minimum and nipped in the bud if there is any hope for us halting the problem in its tracks.
