3. Read the text first, then answer the questions that follow.
In the world today the rubbish is piling up. In Britain alone, 16-20 million tons of rubbish are thrown away every year. In many countries huge amounts of waste products are buried in landfill sites. However, space is running out and in some cases so are many natural resources. In this case governments and environmentalists worldwide are having to turn to the option of mass recycling.
Unfortunately not all rubbish can rot away to nothing. Natural materials such as food and most paper products will break down over a period of time, but other products such as glass, metals and plastics may never break down. So reusing these things in a different form becomes essential. This is recycling: reclaiming products that may at first appear to have fulfilled their useful life.
Paper
Nearly a third of all our household rubbish is paper. And this paper that is thrown away is surprisingly difficult to break down; even in a warm damp environment it can take three months. In a dry environment the breakdown process of paper will take much longer. Newspapers thrown away in landfill sites can take years to break down. Recycling paper is becoming more popular, but as imported paper can be cheaper, the market for recycled paper may be limited. Meanwhile the world’s forests are being reduced at the rate of a football pitch per second, since about 180 trees are needed for 1 ton of paper.
Metals
Some metals, such as tin, may eventually rust away, but this is a long process taking up to ten years or more. Drinks cans are made of aluminum which will never rust or decay. Every year 135,000 tons of drinks cans are thrown away in England. Around half of all soft drinks and beer cans are recycled, the main reason being that it is cheaper to recycle aluminum than it is to make it.
Food Waste
Food remains can normally be broken down quite quickly. However, the environmental conditions have to be favourable for this breakdown. For instance, a lump of sugar would disappear quickly in most environments, but in the Arctic it would take considerably longer. Perhaps the best way of recycling food waste is to form a compost heap with it, allowing the remains to decompose and later using it as a natural fertilizer for the garden.
Plastics
Plastics are popular as they last a long time. This fact alone makes them difficult to break down. Hundreds of millions of tons of many different types of plastics are produced worldwide each year. Even though new types of recyclable plastic are being produced, plastic cannot break down completely. However, advancements are being made into recycling plastics to be used for building materials and the like.
Glass
Glass does not break down. Indeed archaeologists have found glass dating back to 2000 BC. The only way to get rid of glass is to recycle it. Making glass from sand uses little more energy than recycling does.
