Separating our waste is essential as the amount of waste being generated today causes immense problem. Certain things that are not needed around the house are kept aside to be sold to the kabadiwala. These items are newspapers, used bottles, magazines, carry bags, old exercise books, oil cans, etc. This is one form of segregation, which is done as a routine in all households in India. Certain items are not biodegradable but can be reused or recycled. In fact, it is believed that a larger portion can be recycled, a part of it can be converted to compost, and only a smaller portion of it is real waste that has no use and has to be discarded. While biodegradable waste can be composted Nonbiodegradable waste can be further segregated into: a) Recyclable waste – plastics, paper, glass, metal, etc. b) Toxic waste – old medicines, paints, chemicals, bulbs, spray cans, fertilizer and pesticide containers, batteries, shoe polish. c) Soiled – hospital waste such as cloth soiled with blood and other body fluids. Toxic and soiled waste must be disposed of with utmost care. If we do not dispose of the waste in a more systematic manner, more than 1400 sq. km of land, which is the size of the city of Delhi, would be required in the country by the year 2047 to dispose of it. To help you segregate this waste we have a beautiful segregation stand to make it easier for you available in 2 colors:
