decompose is important the rate of decomposition can depend on landfill conditions Plastic Products are very common in our modern life according to estimates every year we use approximately 1.6 million barrels of oil just for producing plastic water bottles plastic waste is one of many types of waste that take too long to decompose normally plastic items can take up to 1,000 years to decompose in landfills but plastic bags we use in our everyday life take 10 to 1,000 years to decompose while plastic bottles can take 450 years or more disposable diapers just in the United States alone every year more than 18 billion disposable diapers are thrown away these disp exposable diapers take approximately 250 to 500 years to decompose in landfills thus underscoring the efforts of programs offering diaper and absorb and hygiene product recycling every minute every day more than 120,000 aluminum cans are recycled only in America but at the same time in every 3month period enough aluminum cans are thrown away in America that can rebuild the entire american commercial air fleet aluminum cans take 80 to 200 years in landfills to get completely decomposed glass normally Glass is very easy to recycle mainly for the fact that glass is made of sand simply breaking down the glass and melting it we can produce new glass but the shocking fact is that if glass is thrown away in landfills it takes million years to decompose and according to some sources it doesn’t compose it all paper waste based on volume paper is the largest element in American landfills normally it takes 2 to 6 weeks in a landfill to get completely decomposed if we recycle paper items we can easily save a lot of landfill space while reducing the energy and virgin material requirements of making non-recycled paper food waste by weight food waste is the largest waste item in American landfills the time taken for food waste decomposing depends on the type of food normally an orange peel takes 6 months but an apple core or a banana peel takes around 1 month to decompose an important component of food recycling is having the right container to deal with it different sources have different information on the actual time various waste items take to decomp compos in landfills cigarette butts 10 to 12 years monofilament fishing line 600 years rubber boots so 50 to 80 years foam plastic cups 50 years leather shoes 25 to 40 years milk cartons 5 years plywood 1 to 3 years painted board 13 years cotton glove 3 months cardboard 2 months styrofoam does not biodegrade nylon fabric 30 to 40 years Tin Can 50 years ropes 3 to 14 months waxed milk carton 3 months aluminum cans 200 to 250 years train tickets 2 weeks canvas products 1 year batteries 100 years Lumber 10 to 15 years sanitary pads 500 to 800 years wool clothing 1 to 5 years tin foil does not biodegrade [Music] how Waste Management in Germany is changing the game Germany has been celebrated as a world leader in recycling its waste management system and sorting policies have paved the way for other countries to implement Greener practices when it comes to trash disposal and collection we take a look at the country’s main strategies and the impact they have had on the rest of the world municipal waste covers a vast range of different categories of trash from domestic and organic waste to paper glass packaging and electrical appliances just to name a few managing such a broad and heterogeneous variety of waste has always been particularly challenging for cities across the world however in recent years several local and National governments have designed systems and adopted approaches to facilitate the collection sorting and recycling of waste Germany is considered a leader in recycling and waste management and its success story comes down to two factors strong government policies and high public awareness in recycling we explore the main strategies in more detail and discuss how these can Inspire countries around the world to develop more efficient systems to deal with their waste Germany the leading recycler of municipal waste over the last two decades Germany has ad adopted a series of strategies such as mandatory waste sorting policies and an extremely efficient deposit refund scheme that have significantly improved its waste management and increased its recycling rates the country also introduced a so-called energy wind a road map to the low carbon and renewable energy transition and in shaping the public opinion on the importance of environmentally sound management of waste in Germany recycling rates have been relatively high for decades already in 2002 the country was recycling 56% of its trash and a clear rise has been observed since then it is also currently the leading recycler of municipal waste in the European Union in which the 27 Nation block similarly passed a number of directives to set specific recycling standards in 2008 for example the European Union approved the waste framework directive which set basic concepts related to waste management including definition of prevention Reuse Recycling recovery and Disposal moreover it imposed a target for all member countries to reach a minimum recycling rate of 50% for certain materials by 2020 the German federal government increased this requirement through the circular economy Act of 2012 setting a 65% recycling rate in 2018 the amended waste framework directive laid down the following taret targets for municipal waste across European nations 55% by 2025 60% by 2030 and 65% by 2035 Germany surpassed the latter a long time ago and in 2019 its estimated recycling rate reached roughly 67% the deposit refund scheme to date several North American and South Australian States as well as 10 European nations have implemented a deposit refund system DRS under the scheme bottles that can be recycled or labeled accordingly when purchasing them consumers pay a deposit which in Germany ranges between 8 and 25 this amount is reimbursed once The Empty Bottle is returned to a retail store one-way plastic bottles are in the higher price range while the deposit for reusable glass and plastic bottles usually do not exceed 15 the difference in price is a strategic way to encourage consumers to return these environmentally damaging Plastics indeed having paid a higher deposit for non-reusable bottles consumers are particularly incentivized to bring them back once after use furthermore making plastic bottles pricier is another way to make them less attractive products to buy alog together a DRS has proven to be extremely effective in countries like Germany which has reached a staggering 98.4% return rate since the adoption of the scheme making it undoubtedly a successful Waste Management solution with an overwhelmingly positive impact on waste production it is not only efficient and reducing littering generation but it can also increase bottle recycling and help industries and consumers to develop a more responsible and sustainable mindset in line with a polluter pays principle such scheme is based on the principle is based on the belief that those who produce pollution should bear the costs of managing it to prevent it from damaging human health as well as the environment the federal government recently revised the scheme to combat the ever growing waste production across the country and announced that starting from 2024 all containers for milk and dairy products will also be subject to a deposit [Music] a [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] mandatory waste sorting policies Germany passed three major policies that have changed the waste management system for the better they are based like the DRS on the polluter pays principle in this case manufacturers and private Industries are also responsible for eliminating waste and covering the costs the packaging ordinance 1991 through through the packaging ordinance Germany was the first country to introduce binding requirements to manufacturers for the Recycling and Recovery of sales packaging this includes Transportation packaging primary packaging like cans as well as secondary packaging like the carton box cans are sold in in 2019 the ordinance was replaced by the packaging act which contains new more ambitious recycling rates and targets and further important regulations for a more transparent and econom IC competition mandatory recycling fees for packaging producers and Distributors remain in place however in order to operate German companies now also have to be listed in the central agency packaging register to which they regularly report their products masses and materials recycling targets of the packaging ordinance 1991 and packaging act 2019 the Green Dot system 1991 [Music] another Milestone was reached after the German government adopted the Green Dot system forcing manufacturers to place a green label outside of packaging indicating it must be accepted by recycling facilities in order to make use of the labeling system producers pay a fee to the Dual system Germany a public private partnership for waste collection set up around the same time which allows private companies to pick up household packaging in parallel to the already existing municipal waste collection systems the strategy is considered the front runner of the European Green Dot scheme which has since been adopted by more than 130,000 companies across 23 European countries with overwhelmingly positive results today over 460 billion packages are labeled with a Green Dot closed substance cycle and waste management act 1996 the ACT 1991 compr apprehensively extended the policies enclosed in the packaging ordinance requiring whoever produces markets and consumes Goods to be responsible for the avoidance Reuse Recycling and environmentally compatible disposal of waste that arises it encouraged businesses to radically rethink their production system making sure that most products are produced with recyclable materials as well as promote low waste products and displace waste in an environmentally sound way the the Act was amended in 2012 when Germany adopted the circular economy act which set legally binding measures on the part of Manufacturers and Distributors to promote producer responsibility little by little regulations were established for vehicles electrical and electronic devices batteries and oil the F4 mentioned policies have had overwhelmingly positive results and saw recycling rates increased while building an understanding and acceptance of the recycling culture among the public it also incentivized local governments to adopt stricter regulations and companies to have solid recycling standards in place to facilitate this one of the first adopted measures was to increase the amount of recycling bins around cities which allow separating trash into six different categories generic waste paper plastic clear glass colored glass and composting the presorting system enables the federal government to save money on waste disposal and management and it drastically reduces the contamination of recycled materials which would otherwise compromise entire batches of waste and prevent them from being recycled ban on single-use Plastics and plastic bags at the end of 2019 the German federal government introduced a ban on plastic bags through an amendment to Article 5 of The Packaging act and in the context of the eu’s circular econ economy action plan the country also implemented stricter rules on single-use Plastics prohibiting manufacturers to produce as well as import these types of plastics the ban came at the right time while the country is great at reusing and recycling its Plastics it Still Remains one of Europe’s biggest plastic producers and the eu’s largest exporter of plastic waste on average Germany exports around 1 million tons of plastic every year worth around €54 million e approximately USD $275 million before China imposed an import ban on waste in 2018 the country was one of its biggest customers since then Germany has diverted waste to Malaysia as well as the neighboring Netherlands where 15% of German plastic waste ends up on a better note exports have shown signs of declining dropping by 8% between 2019 and 2020 and 30 3% in the last 10 years [Music] Germany’s waste flaws Germany is a great example of running an effective and efficient waste management system however this is just part of the story despite being a leader in recycling and having a solid waste management system the country is also one of Europe’s biggest producers of packaging waste especially Plastics between 2005 and 2016 the average amount of waste produced in other EU States declined whereas in Germany it grew by almost 1110th a recent statistic by the federal statistical office found that in 2020 the first year of the co9 pandemic nearly 6.5 million tons of packaging waste were collected and per capita packaging waste was up by 6 kg from the previous year for decades Germany had to rely on third countries like China to manage its waste with China’s import ban it highlighted a Hidden Side to Germany’s waste situation as important it is to have a strong recycling system in place it is more so to avoid plastic waste piling up in the first place and this is where the country still has much work to do lastly it is important to note that waste incineration remains one of the main pillars of Waste Management in Germany waste burning can be used to generate electricity and heating in the country this share is equivalent to approximately 1.5% of the total annual primary energy consumption while this is good news some environmentalists question whether incinerators are the best way to treat waste with studies pointing out that these emit more more toxins and pollutants than landfills thus adding a significant negative contribution to air quality when I do the city cleaning in bakum city I have found mainly juice packing cigarettes packing and small glass bottle used for alcohol my opinion is those three item also should bring to the font system in Germany then those three item have a value then it will automatically come to recycling system in Germany [Music] come [Music] [Music] a [Music] a [Music] [Applause] [Music]
