 Lesson Recyclable products/ waste
1 materials

Proper waste management is encouraged to prevent the harmful effects of

wastes to both human and environment. How can a pupil like you, contribute to
waste management? Perhaps the answer to this is, if you are able to identify
recyclable products and wastes materials .

What’s In

Wastes are not really a problem? Of course, every one of us is really having a
hard time disposing our waste at home or in our workplace. It is just good that we
have previously discussed the principles of 5’s because it will help us make our home
and workplace become more ideal.

By the way, can you still recall what this 5’s stands for? Can you enumerate
the five Japanese words and their English term? Very good if you can do. One of the
Principles in 5’s is seiri (sort) which means to identify and eliminate unnecessary
item in the workplace. In eliminating them, we may consider those things which are
recyclable and can be made into useful object.

Directions: Choose the principles of 5 “S” inside the box that is best described by
the sentences below. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper

Seiri (Sort)
Seiton (Systematize/Set in order)
Seiso (Sweep)
Seiketsu (Standardized)
Shitsuke (Sustain)

1. Instill the habit of cleaning.

2. Identify and eliminate unnecessary items.
3. Put all needed materials in order.
4. Clean the workplace thoroughly after work.
5. Maintain high quality of cleanliness and orderliness.

 What’s New

What do you see in the picture?

Do you regard them as problem? It is necessary to throw them all away?

Problem on waste disposal is an environmental issue. We tend to throw away

things we perceived as waste and wish to never see them again. Some of these
materials are found in streets, dumpsites, landfills, rivers and even on the seashore.

These materials are not waste and can be recycled. Recycling is the process of
turning materials into new, simple and useful products.

Recycling is the best way to conserve energy and solve problem on waste
management.

6
 What is It

What are the different waste materials that can be recycled?

Waste materials include containers and packages made of plastic,

polystyrene, paper, glass, metal, rubbers and others. Some of the wastes do not
decompose but can be recycled.

Different types of waste materials that can be recycled

1. Electronic waste – cartridge, CD, DVD, cellphones, computers, television,

appliances, electronic gadgets and toys.

2. Industrial waste – leftovers from extractions and production processing in

making paper, steel, cement, processed food, pesticides, pharmaceutical and
others.

7
3. Construction and demolition waste – concrete, G.I. sheets, woods, metal,
plastic, glass, doors and window.

4. Medical waste – pharmaceutical waste, needles, syringes, radioactive waste and

food waste.

5. Municipal solid waste – waste commonly called garbage from home and
commercial establishment.

8
6. Other type of waste – wastes found at home which can be converted into
something useful and/or decorative.

Waste materials that are Recyclable

In saving energy and conservation of environment, recycling is the best way. Here
are some of the recyclables that can be found in our surroundings.

Wood
Wood waste coming from houses, construction sites, and old furniture can be
processed and introduced as new products. They can be turned into wood tiles,
garden accessories, wooden utensils, chairs, and wooden decorations at home.

Metal
Tins and cans as packaging or container of food and drinks are made of metal
and aluminum. They are good materials for recycling. They are even sold to
junkshops where companies of food and drinks buy them to be reused to conserve
energy and other resources.

Paper
Old newspaper, old notebooks, old letters, cardboards, junk office papers and
paper packaging are example of paper waste.
These materials can be processed and recycled into something useful and
unique like paper basket, paper-Mache, paper flowers, paper bags and other
decorative paper figures.

Plastic
Empty plastic bottles and containers of soft drinks, water, oil, and other
products are great recyclable materials. The plastics are soft and bendable. They can
be cut with scissors and cutters to form them into figures like flowers, animals,
butterflies, and other decorative products. Huge plastic bottles are even made as pots
for flowers and vegetables.

9
Glass
Glass among others is the easiest material to reuse or recycle. Empty bottles
of various products come with different variant, color and sizes. They are best turned
into wall decors, flower vases, and holder of artificial or fresh flowers. Empty wine
glasses add elegance on the wall and cabinets of the house when displayed
artistically.
Rubbers and tires
Recycling rubbers and tires are discovered recently. Tires of motorcycle and
trucks are made into beautiful animal figures which make our school garden more
attractive.
