How much do you know about the most complete science on the color identification and categories of garbage classification bins?

"Garbage classification" has become a hot topic among the people this summer. Since Shanghai began to implement the strictest garbage classification in history in July, garbage classification bucket products have become popular instantly. It is expected that my country will implement garbage classification in most provincial capitals and key cities by the end of 2020. 2019 is about to pass, can 2020 be far behind? Will your city implement a garbage classification policy next year? Hongxinjia and I quietly learned about garbage classification in order to adapt to the upcoming garbage classification life as soon as possible! Let’s learn the popular science about the color identification and categories of garbage sorting bins together!

1. Color Identification of Garbage Sorting Bins

(Identification and Color of Garbage Sorting Bins)

Green - Kitchen Waste: Green is a symbol of environmental protection. Closely related to plants in nature, for primitive humans, a green environment meant sufficient food and water sources. The positive feeling of green was integrated into the brain during the evolution process and has been preserved to this day. Otherwise, it is always said that "green mountains and green waters are mountains of gold and silver." Green represents freshness, safety, calmness, life, nature, vitality, and recyclability. It comes from nature and returns to nature.

Blue - recyclable garbage: Blue is a symbol of eternity, just like the purpose of garbage recycling, increasing the overall lifespan of material utilization, reducing resource pressure, and reducing dependence on the international raw material market. Blue gives people a comfortable feeling and represents a broad mind, infinity, and harmony. Blue is often used as a prompt and indication in marking color standards. Using blue to represent recyclable garbage sorting bins can also better symbolize the meaning of garbage recycling.

Gray - other garbage: Among the four garbage classification bin combinations, gray is the only achromatic color. It is a color between black and white, which belongs to the "gray area" that is not extreme. It is calm, tolerant and has a strong neutrality. Because "other unclear garbage" is collected by it.

Red - Hazardous Waste: Red has always been used to warn places of danger, and is regarded as a symbolic color of bloodshed, danger, and terror. We learn from a young age that the color red means danger and reminds us to avoid danger, and it is first associated with mistakes and failure. Therefore, red is used in various scenes in life: including memory, proofreading, reading warning signs, etc.

In many countries and some ethnic groups, red has the function of driving away evil. For example, in ancient China, the walls of many palaces and temples were red. In nature, red is also a warning color, so red garbage sorting bins represent toxic and harmful garbage, which is exactly the opposite of blue and green.

In short: blue trash cans that can be sold for money, green trash cans that are perishable, red trash cans that are toxic and harmful, and gray trash cans that no one wants. Now that we understand the color identification of garbage classification bins, let’s take a look at the specific categories of garbage classification bins!

2. Garbage sorting bin categories

Generally, our common garbage is divided into the following four categories. Garbage sorting bins of different colors represent different garbage categories.

Green garbage sorting bin: kitchen waste

Kitchen waste, as the name suggests, is the food waste and peels generated in the kitchen. Mainly include: food residues such as leftovers and Western pastries, vegetable stems and leaves, animal bones and internal organs, tea residues, fruit residues, fruit shells and melon rinds, bonsai and other plant residues, and waste cooking oil.

Blue garbage sorting bin: recyclables

Recyclables mainly refer to garbage with high recycling value and can enter waste recycling channels. Mainly including: paper (newspapers, flyers, magazines, old books, cardboard boxes and other uncontaminated paper products, etc.), metal (iron, copper, aluminum and other products), glass (glass bottles, flat glass and other glass products ), plastic products other than plastic bags (foam plastics, plastic bottles, hard plastics, etc.), rubber and rubber products, milk cartons and other packaging, beverage bottles (Coke bottles, plastic beverage bottles, beer bottles), etc.

Red garbage classification bin: hazardous waste

Hazardous waste refers to waste containing toxic and harmful chemical substances, mainly including: batteries (battery, button battery, etc.), waste electronic products, Waste light bulbs, expired medicines, expired daily cosmetics, hair dyes, pesticide containers, herbicide containers, discarded mercury thermometers, discarded paint buckets, discarded printer ink cartridges, toner cartridges, etc.

Gray (yellow) garbage classification bin: other garbage

Other garbage mainly includes: contaminated and non-recyclable paper (paper cups, photos, carbon paper, receipt paper, postcards, Photo albums, toilet paper, diapers, etc.), contaminated or other non-recyclable glass, plastic bags and other contaminated plastic products, waste clothing and other textiles, worn ceramics, feminine hygiene products, disposable tableware, cigarette butts, etc.

After reading this, do you think garbage classification is a bit complicated? In fact, the national standard is relatively simple. If you follow the garbage classification like Shanghai, the dry garbage you think is actually wet garbage, and the wet garbage you think may not be wet garbage, which will make the majority of people The crowd collapsed. However, many manufacturers have begun to develop and produce smart garbage classification bins, such as Hongxin Jiahe. I believe that when most cities begin to implement garbage classification policies next year, intelligent garbage classification bin equipment will gradually become more popular, making garbage classification more convenient. Much simpler!
