🚯 What is Orphan Waste and Why is it a Difficult Problem to Solve?
Orphan waste refers to waste that has no recycling value and no market demand for purchase. Since it cannot be effectively recycled, it must be disposed of through incineration or landfill, leading to severe environmental challenges. Let’s explore the causes and potential solutions to this issue!
🗳️ What is Orphan Waste and Why is it Hard to Manage?
🔸 Difficult to Dispose & Environmentally Polluting – Orphan waste cannot be recycled and must be burned or buried, contributing to pollution such as carbon dioxide emissions.
🔸 Non-Recyclable or Difficult to Process – Many orphan waste items are made from multilayered materials, such as snack packaging, pet food bags, and single-use packaging, making recycling nearly impossible.
🔸 High Disposal Costs & Lack of Proper Management Systems – The technology for processing orphan waste is expensive, and no dedicated authority oversees its proper disposal, leading to accumulation.
Examples of Orphan Waste:
- Multilayer plastic waste
- Packaging with special coatings
- Waste contaminated with chemicals
- Hard-to-recycle plastics
♻️ Solutions to Orphan Waste
✅ Reduce Usage at the Source – Minimize the use of non-recyclable packaging such as foam and plastic bags. Opt for eco-friendly alternatives like paper bags or biodegradable plastics.
✅ Promote Recycling Technology Development – Support innovations that convert orphan waste into fuel and encourage research into advanced recycling methods.
It’s time to take action and reduce orphan waste before it becomes an irreversible problem. If you’re looking for a responsible recycling center that ensures proper waste management from start to finish, Wongpanit Sookjai is here to help! 🌱♻️
