so what is recycling recycling is a
process used to reduce the carbon
footprint
what is carbon footprint it’s a way of
measuring human impact on the
environment by looking into greenhouse
gases or GHG which are measured in units
of carbon dioxide
what is greenhouse gases greenhouse
gases water vapor carbon dioxide nitrous
nitrous oxide nitrogen oxide methane and
ozone what does that mean to us
what are greenhouse gases we announced
gases is the reason Kuwait gets harder
every year 2016 was the hottest summer
on record for Kuwait and this is why
it’s important to us this is why every
second is important to us so what how do
we learn what is to recycle it’s very
simple everything you procured today for
the purpose of consuming and periodic
period is used some sort of recycling
material to package sounds confusing let
me make it simpler let’s go on a journey
to a grocery store we we buy stuff that
we consume daily and I’ll explain to you
what can be recycled since it’s hot in
Kuwait we’d like to start with water so
I’m gonna grab a bottled water and where
does the bottled water manner usually
plastic interestingly enough it’s made
out of three types of plastic the
bottles made out of pet the label is
made out of film plastic is called LDPE
it’s usually marked with the number four
and the cap is made out of polypropylene
plastic which is made out of a number
that has usually an insignia of a
triangle with a number five on top why
is it important to understand the
different types of plastic as a
household recycle it’s not really that
important if you can segregate them it’s
better if it’s not it’s okay but the
reason it’s important to know because at
the point of recycling these plastics
melt at different temperatures so we
cannot mix them at the second stage so
the sooner
get them the sooner a system becomes
more environmentally efficient what else
do we use that’s plastic have resettable
our shampoo bottles for example anything
that squeezable is made out of
polyethylene HDPE usually that has a
number two insignia on it and
congratulation Kuwait can recycle all
these items now the plastic itself the
problem remains not in the plastic
because plastic can be recycled nine
times so it’s really efficient the
problem isn’t the consumption how we use
it today we’re putting plastic with in
plastic with in plastic and then we’re
throwing that in the landfill and then
we say how can we can’t recycle it so
that’s where the problem lies now what
people should be using is moving organic
or disposable or biodegradable bags when
we throw in the lantern and everything
else should be clear of non of plastic
that’s not biodegrade and goes to the
recycling centers where he could recycle
them again now let’s move down the aisle
and go to the food cans food cans are
the tuner the corn these types of metals
that you use those the look powder can
your coffee mug can those are all
methods that we recycle on daily basis
these are things that you can sow
periodically at home and the method the
problem with the metal is that a lot of
it contains debris or waste food in it
waste is very important to remove prior
to recycling if you don’t it ends up
being part of the mantle even if you put
it in the recycling box because what
happens over time it starts generating a
smell start generating inviting rodents
and insects as well so what happens it
even the label or the sorting machine
can tell what the product is because it
has extra weight and the human
element will not touch it and will just
push it aside and go for cleaner item
so the end solutions to pick it up
because not so bad and throw it in the
latter so cleanliness is very important
when it comes to recycling especially
what matters there are other periodical
items that we can use or other
periodical items that we consume that
are also metals like the refrigerator
the the the your ironing board my
washing machine that I change every six
months these are all recyclable metal
obviously there’s other compounds in it
but mostly there is metal in it and you
can put it with the metal section in
terms of the second or the third
elements of school season now had just
started are the books the papers the
magazines and the newspapers these are
all considered part of the paper
recycling and if you want to go into
segregating of people even further you
can say they’re nominated from the paper
that has incarnate from paper that has
writing from the plain or the brown and
the white these are all different types
of paper but ultimately the user doesn’t
really need to get into those details
because the numbers are limited so you
just have to put it in the paper
recycling today the last two categories
is the ones that I get surprised looks
for people when I tell them that Kuwait
recycles glass and boy they always give
me that surprised like really glass
amount yes the glass can be recycled
into it it is not the bulbs it’s not the
windowpanes it’s not the doors are there
not the shelves the consumable glass
your clean your cologne if your soro
bottle that’s glass your water bottle
that’s as glass those are all recyclable
glass and again that’s the extra item
that we can recycle the last item which
is oil a lot of people on
but down the drain or put it outside in
the garden or throw it in the waste
these are all ways of inviting rodents
and insects and we don’t want to do that
we should recycle the oil there is more
than one company in Kuwait very psycho
soil I know it’s not something we hear
up here about but they are available and
we should recycle as much oil as
possible now that we’ve talked about
recycling Kuwait for the plastic metal
paper glass employee we should know it’s
where to take them
yes I recycle but who’s gonna take them
away from me or where do I drop them off
well Kuwait every city has a
municipality in charge of it and every
place you live there’s a waste
management company that passes by I
suggest you contact the most ality and
ask them what do you what you should do
or contact that waste management company
that picks up the waste from the
neighborhood and ask them if they have a
program specially for you they’re also
private companies out there that comes
to your house and collect their
recyclables and also there are blue bins
and what if you’ve seen them but they
have the four categories and they have
the glass plastic paper and letter and
they’re available usually in coops and
schools in the middle of certain areas
in Kuwait but they’re available
everywhere there are also if you’re not
sure and you want to deliver these bins
or develop the products to the recycling
centers themselves you can always
contact they had saniay
the industrial union they have a list
for you of who is a recyclable company
and which which products they’re like
willing to accept it away and you could
transfer them yourselves there but is
that all we can recycle
now that we’ve taken all these elements
what’s really left I want most early
shopping I consumed it
what stuff that I haven’t be second the
food the remainders of food the
leftovers of
that could be composted today and going
to actually lucky 120 neeterb then you
can compost in three months taking it
from food to organic compost and from
compost you can put it back into
vegetation in your own house and then
you start seeding money instead of
spending money and that’s another way of
looking at the benefits of recycling and
the benefits of being environmental and
the benefits of being green now that we
covered what to do there what are we
free well with essentially zero waste
producers now I mean I took all the food
to call the plastic to call the glass
took the oil what’s left the second
items that we still don’t have solutions
for the lightbulbs for example the paint
so hazardous play textile wood yes other
parts of the world does recycled wood
but they have forests to support the
population 20 million plus wood can turn
into something now what can we do about
items that are mixed or that are more
recyclable plastic for example has a lot
of engineered plastic the number six or
if you see any coffee cups the lids on
or the form plastic that we used to pay
with his kids that’s all made out of
Pakistani
it’s recyclable but it doesn’t get
recycled because usually very small
items then they’re scarce and they’re
never collected in one place
and these items unfortunately don’t get
the recycling because the cost of
connecting it’s too high and the amount
of collecting together is difficult so
you never have an efficient way
financially feasible model to start
processing these items that being said
knowing that due to the lack of being
environment engaged
we’re having a climate change in Kuwait
or what you call global warming Kuwait
is getting hotter still people believe
that we don’t have a big issue annoyed
let me give you guys some fact we are
the highest generators in the world for
waste capital five point seven kilograms
per capita today we have been estimated
that the value of waste dumped every day
six years ago was around two thousand
eight hundred tons a day then three
years after the governor said no you
know what let’s do an estimate of three
thousand tons a day today they’re making
estimates leaves after that at 3,300 and
the governor plans on doing a waste to
energy plant and they’re probably have
stopped looking at 4,000 tons a day just
to cover the increases our landfills
today we have fourteen of them a lot of
them are closed down they are thirty
meters high they yeah they’re one of
them is at the 17th Road I urge you guys
to go and see them the amount of space
it takes is unbelievable it’s consuming
ten percent of Kuwait Lance Bass wife
two three years ago we were living only
seven percent or has more importance us
or the waste if we don’t take action
that way still overcomes we’re going to
be living in a little waste so what is
it that we want to do we want to be
sited we want to rethink well position
do you think about our future we
envision ourselves where we’re going to
be in five 10 15 years and how we’re
going to take action so we you know what
we’d like is what everyone is
