Wastes and their Recycling Potential
Type of waste - Biomass
Recycled products - Composts
Recycling potential - Future of compost depends on its environmental and agronomic quality and the dynamism of its market.
Type of waste - Paper and cardboard
Recycled products - Recovered paper (recycled paper)
Recycling potential - Increasing demand in Asia, particularly in PRC.
Type of waste - Plastics
Recycled products - Recovered plastics
Recycling potential - Increasingly stringent regulations and growing demand for recovered plastics in Asia, favoring development and internationalization of this market.
Cost of collection system and volatile prices are limiting factors.
Type of waste - Ferrous Metals
Recycled products - Steel
Recycling potential - In 2004, world production of scrap metal rose to 450Mt and consumption reached 405.5Mt. Can be recovered from MSW, construction waste, etc.
Type of waste - E-wastes
Recycled products - Recoverable Materials
Recycling potential - Estimated that 10 million computers contain 135,000 metric tons of recoverable materials, such as base metals, silicon, glass, plastic, and precious metals.
