How technology help recycling in dubai?

-

 With the rising population across the globe, and in Dubai, the amount of waste is also increasing. This creates a challenge in rubbish collection and disposal. Fortunately, technological advancements assist greatly in the matter.

Effectiveness is key as far as recycling is concerned. Landfills are not practical or simple since it has very strong environmental repercussions, in addition to being a very unsustainable option that occupies too much land space. Instead, focus is now shifted towards recycling and more eco-friendly means of waste removal. With the importance of recycling and sustainability now more important than ever, more and more companies are investing in technologies that can facilitate these aspects, such as listed below:

  1. RFID Technology

Used to monitor waste collection and pick up efforts, the primary benefit is that the statistics received cannot be miscalculated or changed.  However, it is only in recent years that this technology has been gaining popularity and is already seeing great results. An RFID tag on bins and garbage collection vehicles allows recyclables to be tracked easily, in terms of the homes they came from. This allows for a clear picture of the demographics contributing to recycling more, and strategizing measures that can be taken to incentivize recycling to specific audiences.

  1. Pay per Volume of Disposed Waste

Installation of RFID scale on trucks can measure the exact amount disposed per household, allowing for individual-based calculation. Charges can therefore be levied based on that amount. This way, savings and waste reduction measures can be estimated. Waste reduction can thus be planned out, while promoting recycling, ensuring lower detrimental impacts to the environment. This also promotes recycling, since the cost of materials left for recycling is deducted from waste collection pricing.

  1. Set Up of Recycling Bins

Human behaviour plays a role in influencing recycling rate - GPS readers can be equipped on trash cans to provide information of recently disposed recyclable materials, and what areas are most active in this regard. This is significant since it provides indicators of recycling bin placement to maximise rates. Strategic placement of bins in areas of higher recycling activity contributes to increase of rubbish collection rates.

  1. Gasification

Generation of clean and synthetic gas by means of waste usage is green and eco-friendly in terms of energy production. Gas that has over 50% of natural gas density can be considered as a fossil fuel replacement, in addition to refined oil, reprocessed as green diesel. Gasification is increasing in application, in addition to possibly becoming a widespread solution for waste disposal. 

Technology can play a big role in improving the process of recycling, while introducing new means of waste disposal. For more information on recycling in Dubai, get in touch with AL Sifah today.

Scrap Metal recycling is an extremely good practice for the environment as it saves up on additional mining and extraction, and the already present metal is recycled and used further. Scrap Metal is of two types – ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal. Now you might wonder how do you dispose this scrap metal…it’s actually pretty easy. For smaller aluminum and steel items, you can use the home recycling bin. However, for the larger items like the metal if refrigerators or televisions, you can get in touch with a scrap metal company as they purchase this scrap metal and get it recycled.

  The advantages of reusing salvaged material are various, and essential for the environment. And did you realize that steel is the most reused metal on the planet? There is a solid likelihood that you utilize reused steel each day, regardless of whether it’s in the vehicle you drive or maybe it’s the bundle your food came in. So as you can envision the advantages of reusing steel are huge. To know a few advantages, read on: Save time and energy: Recycling steel can save significant assets. Rather than mining and handling crude materials, reusing disposed of steel will chop down coal and water utilization by around 40%. Also, reusing steel scrap and staying away from essential steel creation can save around 1.5 kg of CO2-e emanations and 13.4 MJ of essential energy. That likens to 73% and 64% less utilization, separately, contrasted with 100% essential creation. To be sure, reusing steel permits enterprises to utilize less energy instead of mining crude materials. Access to quality...

Scrap metal Recycling Risks & Exposures

  The recycling industry includes a variety of facilities, each with its own set of risks.  Metal from home appliances, cars, rail tracks, automobiles, etc is the common source of recycled metal. Metals are recycled into two types: ferrous which contains iron and is magnetic, nonferrous metals are tin, copper, zinc, brass, lead. Vehicles provide the majority of ferrous metals for recyclers, whereas nonferrous metals are more valuable and command higher prices. Metal scrap recycling operations pose a wide range of hazards, including health risks from chemical exposure and safety risks from material processing operations and the equipment used in these tasks. Toxic metal exposure is far more common than you might think. While you may be under the impression that toxins are not easily absorbed, this is not the case. Even non-toxic precious metals can combine with toxic metals to form alloys that can harm you. You can be exposed to toxins if you are exposed to metal shavings, inha...
