Planet Earth Without Recycling

If people stop recycling, several negative consequences could occur. Below are a few of them.

Increased waste: Recycling helps reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Without recycling, the amount of waste generated would increase, leading to the need for more landfill sites. This could lead to environmental problems such as pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and depletion of natural resources.
Depletion of natural resources: Recycling reduces the need for extracting and refining raw materials, such as minerals, trees, and oil, which are finite resources. Without recycling, the demand for these resources would increase, leading to their depletion and eventual exhaustion.
Increased energy use: Recycling often requires less energy than producing new products from raw materials. Without recycling, the energy required to extract, transport, and process raw materials would increase, leading to more fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Economic costs: Recycling creates jobs and generates revenue from the sale of recycled materials. Without recycling, these economic benefits would be lost, and the costs of waste disposal would increase, leading to higher taxes and fees for consumers.
Environmental degradation: Landfills are known to produce environmental problems such as pollution, greenhouse gas emissions etc. Without recycling, we would require more landfills, leading to more environmental degradation and public health concerns.

Hence, if people stop recycling, it would have negative impacts on the environment, economy, and society at large. Therefore, it is essential to continue to promote and encourage recycling as a way to reduce waste, conserve resources, and protect the environment. Are you recycling yet? If no, contact Madenat Recycling TODAY!

Eid Ready Home – Cleaning tips

As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, the world begins preparing for this special time of the year. One important aspect of this preparation is cleaning the home and discarding/recycling the unnecessary. This not only helps create a clean and comfortable environment for the month-long period of fasting, but also allows individuals to focus their energy on prayer.

Here are some tips for cleaning your home and recycling the unwanted items before Ramadan:

Start early: Don’t wait until the last minute to start cleaning the house. Begin a few weeks before Ramadan to ensure that you have enough time to sort things.
Declutter: Go through your belongings and get rid of anything that you no longer need or use. This can be anything from old clothes to unused appliances. Consider donating items that are still in good condition to a local charity or second-hand store.
Clean room by room: Break up the cleaning process by tackling one room at a time. This will make the process less exhausting and help you stay focused. Keep the unwanted items aside for donation/recycling.
Focus on high-traffic areas: Pay special attention to areas of your home that are used frequently, such as the kitchen, bathrooms, and living areas. These areas are more likely to accumulate dirt and grime and require extra attention.
Recycle: As you clean, set aside any items that can be recycled. This can include cardboard boxes, plastic containers to even cables, old electronics etc. Contact Madenat recycling to find out what items can be recycled. This way you can ensure the minimum items can go in the landfill and make you a environment sustainability hero.
Dispose of hazardous waste safely: If you have any hazardous waste in your home, such as batteries, spent lamps or some kind of electronics, it will need special attention. Madenat recycling can guide you regarding storage of such hazardous waste and even visit your home to safely collect such items. We specialise in disposal of hazardous items.
Organize: Once all of the above is done, it’s time to organize. Find a place for everything and make sure that items are stored in a way that makes sense and are easy to maintain. Keep a recycling corner in the house and keep all recyclables there so that you can recycle them with Madenat periodically.

By following these tips, you can create a clean and comfortable environment for the month of Ramadan. Cleaning your home and discarding recyclables can also be a way to purify your mind and prepare yourself for the spiritual journey of Ramadan.

What is E Waste Day? How to Participate?

October 14^th is observed as the International E waste Day to highlight growing e waste issues and to ideate ways to curtail them. As a leading E waste recycler in the UAE for several years, Madenat Al Nokhba does not miss any opportunity to create awareness about Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment (WEEE) recycling. So, for this year’s E waste day, we are recycling most of the E waste free for the entire month of October 2020. This will involve non hazardous items like electrical appliances/machines; electronic items/devices/IT equipment; wire cables etc and hazardous items such as batteries, light bulbs/tube lights and toner cartridges. We have smashing competitive rates for all these services.

In 2019 alone, the world generated over 53.6 Million tons of E waste, of which only 17.4% of was recycled. From this year moving forward, we want everyone to be a part of this collective effort to increase this recycling number and reach a goal of zero E-waste in landfills. How can we achieve this?

Here are 5 things you can do to participate in E Waste Day

Discuss about E waste problems with your family, friends & Co-workers. Gather facts and figures to support your discussion. You can read our blog for some E waste recycling data.
Talk to at least one child about E waste recycling. Let us educate the future generation about the E waste problems and build a habit of E waste recycling in them from now on.
Collect all the E waste in your house, office, community including IT equipment, cables, batteries, spent lamps etc and hand over to a local recycler. If you are in UAE, contact us at info@madenat.ae or call us at 043271778
Place E waste bin around your community where you can be collecting all E waste items for periodic recycling
Make sure you are not keeping batteries and broken spent lamps for a long time in the bin or in your house. They are hazardous waste and can harm you if the hazardous components get released in the environment

Are there any more interesting ways to celebrate the International E waste day? Comment below to let everyone know about it. Let us come together to recycle 100% of the E waste every year and live in a cleaner and healthier environment. Let’s make our planet Green again!

“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.”

Top 4 Excuses Used To Avoid Recycling

Not many of us understand the importance of recycling…But instead of digging deeper to find solution, some try to get away with silly excuses. Here are the Top 4 excuses irresponsible people use, to avoid recycling.

I don’t create that much waste

Really? As per global data, every human being on earth produces over 600 Kgs of trash a year. So, which one is it, you are not a human or you don’t’ live on earth? From food, clothes, shelter to electronics, lighting equipment to all the plastic that it is wrapped in… everything we use, has the ability to turn into trash. So next time someone tells you they don’t create crap, tell them that their crap starts from that sentence itself.

Recycling process is very tedious

Yes, it is a tedious process. The recycler segregates the trash, puts it in massive recycling machines which than separates the plastic, metals and other items, which they package and downstream to manufacturers again…But we do not have to worry about all that, do we? We just need to keep a recycling bin in our house and once it is full, give it to the nearest recycler. Was that tedious? Well…NO!

Why should I pay for recycling?

Didn’t we just mention all the hassle a recycler has to go through to recycle? It takes manpower and massive machinery to recycle the items we provide them. But by investing in all that now, they make sure that we don’t make the environment any more inhabitable for us and our future generations. We should pay the minimal service charge to the people who are saving the environment on our behalf. Isn’t that only fair?

What is my benefit?

Our planet is already getting inhabitable with all the plastic in oceans, chemicals in land and dust in air. So, if you wish to stay happy on the planet, you need to first make the planet happy. Isn’t cleaner air, healthier soil and fresh water benefit enough? Think!

Now next time when you come across anyone who is giving excuses for not recycling…you know how to answer them. You are not one of them, are you?
