1.	Recycling: recycling in it’s own material, because thanks to this activity, waste is made into a product again! Thus, the secondary raw material (waste) is not lost, it is only transformed.
By recycling selective waste, we can save a significant amount of primary raw materials, which is definitely good for the environment. Keep in mind, however, that recycling also inevitably results in pollution - so it is a less environmentally friendly solution than prevention and re-use , as the waste hierarchy below illustrates.
"Separate waste collection is just a tool to achieve a clean environment, not the goal itself!"
Selective waste collection?
When someone asks the question, "Are you environmentally conscious?", 80-90% answer, "Yes, I collect waste selectively!"
But even though almost everyone comes to mind about the environment for the first time, in comparison, only all waste is approx. We sort out 17%, which lags far behind the statistics for the countries of Northwest Europe .
  
 
 
2.	Non-degradable waste:
Do you know how long everyday materials and products degrade in our environment after being discarded?
Glass has a degradation time of 1-2 million years, a plastic bag 200-1000 years and a disposable diaper 550 years.
Paper towel: 2-4 weeks Banana peel: 3-4 weeks Paper bag (paper bag): 1 month Newsprint: 1.5 months Apple seed: 2 months Cardboard paper: 2 months Cotton gloves: 3 months Orange peel: 6 months Veneer sheet: 1-3 years Wool socks : 1-5 years Milk box: 5 years Cigarette butts: 10-12 years Leather shoes: 25-40 years Tinned steel tin can: 50 years Foamed plastic cup: 50 years Rubber boots: 50-80 years Aluminum tin can: 200- 500 years (however, with recycling , a new box can be made in about 6 weeks!) Plastic bottle: 450 years Disposable diapers: 550 years (currently recycling is not solved) Fishing line, fishing line: 600 years Plastic bags: 200-1000 years 
 
 
 3.	Radioactive waste:
The production of nuclear energy involves the generation of radioactive waste, which is unique in the industry and is not released uncontrolled into the environment, but is collected, processed and stored. The disposal of nuclear waste is regulated by strict safety requirements, protecting people and the environment. The amount of radioactive waste is orders of magnitude smaller than that from the incineration of fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas), less than 1% of the total hazardous waste in industry. would result in the generation of sufficiently high level waste. Radioactive waste management (in English expression: management) encompasses a wide circle concept, this is only part of the processing of waste ( processing ). The parts of the whole process are: - collection, pre-classification and temporary storage of waste, - transport of waste, - waste treatment, the stages of which depend on the state and class of waste, - transport and interim storage of processed waste, - final disposal of waste. placement. Of these groups, waste treatment and interim and final disposal combine a number of sharply different processes . In the case of solid waste, waste treatment can mean the following processes: compaction (pressing), incineration, fixing (conditioning, see later). In the case of liquid, low and intermediate level wastes, there are many possibilities for volume reduction aimed at reducing disposal costs: evaporation and incineration of solutions, precipitation, filtration, extraction and ion exchange of radioactive components can also be used. A common feature of all processes is that the resulting radioactive material will be smaller in volume and obviously have a higher concentration of activity than the stock solution, and the "inactive" material stream must meet the exemption criteria. The volume reduction is followed by solidification (conditioning).
