One of the most important problems of our age is pollution and its related phenomena (such as climate change). They affect our lives, wildlife and tourism: for example, in the North Pacific Ocean there is a large landifill full of plastic bags and bags called “plastic garbage patch”.That’s why lots of scientists and entrepreneurs are getting into sustainable development, a kind of development that preserves the environment and actually can provide a better present and future.
what is pollution?
Those companies are not the only ones looking for new ways to recycle plastic: recently the London Zoo created a 210-centimetres-high polar bear using tons of plastic bags!
Plastic is the result of crude oil, charcoal and natural gas mixed together. To sum up, it’s a resin. Nowadays, it’s one of the most dangerous resources for the environment: its production reaches 265 million tons per year. Unfortunately, recycling companies are able to recycle only the 15% of all that plastic: they try to make new products such as packaging, bottles and pipes.
Plastic
Henry Paulson
"Economic growth and environmental protection are not compatible. They are the opposite sides of the same currency if you are looking for long-term prosperity"
In Italy there are appropriate supply chain consortia, born with the Ronchi Decree, which deal with the recovery of different product fractions. For steel, this entity is RICREA, which aims to encourage, promote and facilitate the collection and recycling of used steel packaging, both domestic and industrial.In 2005, 63% of steel packaging released for consumption in Italy was sent for recycling.
Metals
The recycling of ferrous materials is a specific sector of waste recycling, and consists of a set of operations that are carried out on waste containing ferrous alloys to obtain a new material to be reintroduced into production processes.
An example are the works of Ranya ArtHis sculptures reproduce faces in perfect classical style. As Ranya Art itself tells, each of its compositions can contain from 500 to 700 electronic components, deriving from video recorders, DVD players, consoles and so on, in short, all parts that are no longer needed and that would end up being compacted in landfills.
Fortunately, Europe recycles 78% of its paper. A recycled piece of A4 paper in fact can become a magazine, a newspaper or a school book and at the end of his life can become even wrapping paper or toilet paper.
The paper comes from wood fibers. On average, two tons of wood are used to produce one ton of paper, or 17 trees. In the world, the amount of paper that is produced is greater than that of plastic, in fact, you get to produce even 300 million tons every year.
Paper
Another example of paper recycling takes place in the world of fashion, a few years ago, in fact clothes are created with recycled paper and this is called "Fashion in paper".

What we can do for save the planet?
Since it’s a very important topic, governments are trying to raise people’s interest: Wales has a sustainable development week from 21st May to 27th; in the UK many building companies are developing an environmental assessment method for sustainable houses, made of recycled plastic. Also the Members of the European Commission look at the quality of recycling in European countries: Austria and the Netherlands are on top of the ranking, while the UK is at 7th place. In 2021, Italy has been nominated “Europe’s Recycling Leader”. We can help the environment too by reducing our plastic and petroil use, turning the lights off, …
