Waste reuse

Sohd wastes are all the wastes arising from human and animal activities that are normally sohd and that are discarded as useless or unwanted. The term as used in this subsection is all-inclusive, and it encompasses the heterogeneous mass of throwaways. The three R s should be apphed to Sohd Wastes Reuse, Recycle, and Reduce. When these nave been implemented, management of residual solid waste can be addressed. 

Step 7 Measuring Current Levels of Waste Reuse and Recycling...

Viable alternatives to cartridge filters include bag filters and metal mesh filters. Metal mesh filters are available in very fine micron sizes and they can be cleaned and reused. Since it is very important to minimize all wastes, the issue of mesh filter cleaning waste reuse or recycling would need to be addressed before switching to these filters. 

Maximizing environmentally sound waste reuse and recycling. 

Methods of waste reduction, waste reuse and recycling are the preferred options when managing waste. There are many environmental benefits that can be derived from the use of these methods. They reduce or prevent green house gas emissions, reduce the release of pollutants, conserve resources, save energy and reduce the demand for waste treatment technology and landfill space. Therefore it is advisable that these methods be adopted and incorporated as part of the waste management plan. This chapter will highlight the use of clays in such processes.
