Extended data

The advantages of garbage sorting treatment are as follows:

First, reduce land occupation. Garbage classification, removing recyclable and non-degradable substances, reducing the amount of garbage by more than 50%.

Second, reduce environmental pollution. Waste batteries contain toxic substances such as metallic mercury, which will cause serious harm to human beings. Waste plastics in soil will reduce crop yield, so recycling can reduce the harm.

Third, turn waste into treasure. 1 ton of waste plastics can recover 600kg of unleaded gasoline and diesel oil. Recycling 1500 tons of waste paper can avoid cutting down trees used to produce 1200 tons of paper. Therefore, garbage recycling is both environmentally friendly and resource-saving.
