Jätefraktioita

Jätefraktioita refers to the different types of waste that are collected and managed separately during waste collection. The most common jätefraktioita include:

Recyclable materials: These are materials that can be recycled and used to make new products. Examples include paper, plastic, glass, and metal. Recycling helps to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and conserves natural resources.

Organic waste: This includes food scraps, yard waste, and other biodegradable materials. Organic waste can be composted to create nutrient-rich soil for gardening and agriculture. Composting also helps to reduce methane emissions from landfills.

Hazardous waste: This includes materials that are dangerous or harmful to human health or the environment. Examples include batteries, paint, and electronic waste. Hazardous waste must be managed and disposed of according to specific regulations to prevent environmental contamination.

Inert waste: This includes materials that do not decompose or break down over time. Examples include bricks, concrete, and asphalt. Inert waste is typically sent to landfills for disposal.

Construction and demolition waste: This includes materials generated from construction and demolition activities, such as wood, metal, and concrete. This waste can be recycled or reused to minimize waste sent to landfills.

Separating jätefraktioita helps to improve waste management practices, reduce environmental impact, and conserve resources. It also encourages a circular economy where waste is minimized and resources are kept in use for as long as possible. Effective management of jätefraktioita requires cooperation between waste producers, collectors, recyclers, and policymakers.
