8.3.Distribution of equipment and tools in the building of recycle complex.

fig.22 1^st floor equipment distribution.

First floor is for temporary storage of production and raw stuff to ship to a consumer.

fig. 23 Equipment for recycling bones, paper and wood on the 2^nd floor.

Second floor is equipped with tools for recycling waste paper into toilet paper, tools to produce bone flour.

fig. 24 Recycling rubber, TETRA-PACKs and polymers on the 3^rd floor.

3^rd floor is for recycling “Tetra-Pack” packagings into secondary polyethylene granules. Chopped rubber and polymers are transformed into “flakes” for making road tiles, roof shingles/tiles, road hatches, etc.

fig.25 Equipment on the 4^th floor.

Equipment to regenerate secondary polymers is installed on the 4^th floor. There’s also machinery for recycling textile into wadding. There’s a press for plastic battles, 2 extruders and 2 sorting conveyors.

fig.26 Equipment of the 5^th floor.

Receiving and weighing of waste are managed on the 5^th floor. Sorting and splitting of large-sized waste (furniture, office equipment, household appliances, vehicle parts, motorbike parts, bicycles) and combined waste (shoes, clothes) runs here. Primary sorting of HW (mercury lamps, thermometers, batteries, etc) takes place here too. Then it is about loading waste through chutes onto conveyor lines. Tools and special equipment for factory services are situated here. Administration areas and worker areas (senior maganer, chief power engineer, mechanics, engineers, technologists, storekeepers, accountants and their cabinets, a canteen, shower rooms and lavatories) are there on each floor.

On the roof of the 6^th floor there is a helicopter pad.

9. Agricultural Soil Recovery – a part of clean recycling phenomenon.

9.1. Guide to permaculture design.

The first thing to start with is to analyze the current situation of your piece of land.

1. Get a master plan from an administration organs (map of the area with all objects marked).

2. Mark all ditches and creeks of the area on the map,

3. All water sources,

4. Puddles and reservoirs,

5. Sewage system and drain holes

6. Waterlogged territories

7. Places of after-rainfall flooding

8. Footpaths

9. Trees

10. Fencing

11. Electrical tables

12. Internet / communication cables

13. Plumbing system

14. Gas pipelines

15. Bushes and shrubs

16. Children playgrounds

17. Sports grounds

18. Gardens

19. Planned construction

20. Waste accumulation places.

The second thing to do is the analysis to place:

1. Water collecting system (from roofs)

2. 1-2 small lakes

3. A creek

4. A swamp

5. Meadows and garden beds

6. Bushes

7. Trees and forest

The third stage is to find out the following:

1. A list of fruit trees, berries and vegetables able to grow in the area.

2. An annual schedule of planting.

3. A schedule of harvest.

4. A schedule of watering and check of plants compatibility (to make sure that chosen plants can co-exist naturally).

5. Lighting conditions.

6. The ways of plants’ breeding

7. Soil conditions

8. And other parameters

Fourth thing is creating a landscape design itself:

1. Planning plantings

2. Considering sunlight conditions

3. Considering west/east/north/south directions.

4. Considering a wind rose,

5. Seasonality of rainfalls,

6. Children and playgrounds

7. Pets and wild animals

8. Bird feeders and nests

9. Boxes for insects

10. Just turn on your imagination and create stuff![7]

A guide to creating garden beds out of waste.

The idea is to create a raised bed. First thing to do is to dig a footpath to be able to bring up planting materials and bring out the harvest. Add some compost to soil of garden beds. Then it is time to plant seeds and add mulch. Mulch of straw and cut grass protects the soil and helps to preserve water and keep the optimal temperature level. Mulch nourishes soil’s microorganisms and is good for plants’ roots. Raised beds are useful when it’s wet, where it rains a lot. But if the climate’s dry it’s better to make beds in some depth. They preserve water too. A grid is used to cover plants from too much sunlight. The goal is to decrease a dehydration effect of evaporation. One needs 1m³ of compost to make 1000 m² of garden beds. One can use even more compost: 20m³ for 1 ha. It’s only for the first time, because you start a natural process of bringing nutrients back to plants. Then we start planting into beds. After planting it’s time to do mulching. Mulch is to protect plants from too much sunlight, evaporation, rain washouts. Mulch is like an isolation covering. It retains water just like litter in woods. 30% of mulch’s mass is water. So if a thickness of mulch is 8 cm, there’s approximately 3 cm of water. Mulched garden bed needs 10 times less watering. This feature makes them super-efficient.

How to make garden beds quickly.

I do use recycled wood, paper, carton, vegetable parings, mulch made of leaves. It is going to be a good food for soil. Sometimes you can use raw stuff like old books, paper bags, etc. Paper is a good material to retain water. The goal of using mulch is to make micro flora and fauna “feel” natural. One must loosen mulch and shake it. Then one is to add some compost and press it a little bit. Then it’s time to plant seeds.

So it is so easy and quick to make a garden bed. You have everything you need. The fertile layer of soil will add 1-5 cm annually. It is very important to take care of soil when you do permacultural works.
