Inorganic garbage: children’s examples

By Dr. Kyle Muller

Although it is a concept that can be broader or more closed depending on the person who uses it, garbage is all those waste, waste, materials or products that no longer have any use, they cannot be repaired and do not have any type of monetary value.

But did you know that there are different types of garbage depending on their origin and nature? In the following ecology article, we are going to talk specifically about the Inorganic garbage giving you some Examples for children.

What is organic and inorganic garbage

Garbage is a very broad word, since it enters a series of very heterogeneous waste. Although in most cases they are solid can also exist at the liquid level. These materials and products arise as a result of different human and animal activities.

But not all garbage is the same, this can be distinguished in many different ways, something necessary to be able to recycle them correctly, however, at general, the Two main types of garbage that exist are:

  • Inorganic garbage: In this category, all that garbage that does not have a biological origin enters. This is precisely the most polluting group, since it has a synthetic or plastic origin, either in its entirety or partially, it is much more difficult to degrade and take a long time to disappear. In general, although at the domestic level it also occurs, the largest amount of organic garbage is generated by the industry.
  • Organic garbage: It is all the garbage that has a biological origin, that is, mostly it is the remains of food and food products that are not consumed in the restoration and household premises. Compared to inorganic garbage are not so complicated to process, since they are easily broken down and can be used as a fertilizer, however, of not doing well they can cause disease and pollution.

Thus, as a summary we could say that organic garbage is one that comes from a living being, while inorganic garbage is that which does not have this origin. In the same way, while the organic degrade and disintegrate in the environment very quickly, inorganic garbage takes years and even decades to disintegrate.

Types of inorganic garbage

But as we have previously commented, the garbage is not only distinguished between organic and inorganic, in fact, just by looking at the containers of your city you can see that there are many forms of differences and distinguish the waste generated by the human being.

So, within the Inorganic garbage We can also distinguish two Subgroupsthen we explain them:

  • Recyclable inorganic garbage: They are all those that, through waste management, can be recycled and reused. From the ecological point of view, this type of garbage is much more desirable than that cannot be recycled.
  • Non -recyclable inorganic garbage: Unlike the previous group, the waste that is framed in this subgroup cannot be recycled or degrade in the environment. This is a great problem of planetary magnitude, since we have no way of being able to reuse them and the one way of managing them and preventing them from having an unwanted impact on the environment is to group them in sealed containers.

Organic and inorganic garbage: recycling

As we have been explaining throughout the article it is totally necessary to separate between organic and inorganic garbage so that it can be treated properly, recycle and reuse all those elements that are likely to go through that process. In recent years, much progress has been made in that aspect and the differentiation between the waste is increasing, however, we are still very far from being able to recycle all the waste that is general.

Ideally, not generate inorganic garbage, especially the one that cannot be recycled, but until that we must have a waste management competent enough to be able to distinguish between all that garbage that containing element that can be reused and prevent the rest from being lost contaminating the environment.

As far as Organic garbage It refers, through recycling we achieve reintegrate this waste in nature (through organic fertilizer), produce biomass energy and organic fuels or use it as animal food.

On the other hand, the Inorganic garbage A process of discernment passes in which those recyclable parts are separated, those parts of the residue that can be reused and those waste that simply must be stored in a container waiting for in the future that in the future there is a technology capable of giving it a new life.
