Materials recovery

Definition

Processing of metal and non-metal scraps and parts to be recycled materials by mechanical or chemical transformation processes, including recovering materials from waste. (1) Separating and grouping reusable materials from non-hazardous waste. (2) Separating and grouping to recover materials such as paper, plastics, used metal cans for food and beverages to be converted into reusable materials. Examples of the use of machinery or chemicals in the transformation carried out are the use of machinery to compact metal waste such as used cars, washing machines, bicycles, etc. by sorting and sorting; disassembling cars, computers, televisions and other equipment that have been processed; using machinery to reduce the size of large pieces of metal such as trams; shredding worn out metal vehicles into pieces by machinery such as cutting, compressing to reduce size, dismantling ships; separating metal from waste from the photographic process such as film developing liquid or film and photographic paper; reusing rubber such as used tires to produce recycled raw materials. Sorting and molding of plastics to produce raw materials for the production of pipes, flower vases, plastic pellets, etc. Processing (cleaning, melting, grinding) plastic or rubber waste into small pellets, grinding, cleaning and sorting glassware, grinding, cleaning and sorting other waste such as garbage or waste from demolition, processing used oils and fats from cooking to become recyclable raw materials, including processing leftovers from food, beverages, tobacco and waste into recyclable raw materials.
