Kierrätysjakso

Kierrätysjakso refers to the circular process of material recovery and reuse. It begins with the collection of used products or waste materials, such as plastics, paper, glass, and metals. These collected items are then transported to sorting facilities where they are separated based on their material type. Once sorted, the materials undergo processing, which can involve cleaning, shredding, melting, or other methods depending on the substance.

The processed materials are then used as raw materials in the manufacturing of new products. For example, recycled paper can be made into new paper products, and recycled plastic can be used to create clothing, furniture, or even new packaging. This reintegration into the production cycle completes the kierrätysjakso. The goal of this process is to reduce the need for virgin resources, conserve energy, and minimize the amount of waste sent to landfills or incinerators, thereby promoting a more sustainable economy. The effectiveness of a kierrätysjakso depends on efficient collection systems, advanced processing technologies, and strong consumer participation.
