What’s waste?

It can be classified as follows:
- according to its origin: municipal and special waste
- according to its hazardous characteristics: dangerous or non-dangerous waste
Waste (present-past-future)
- In the past: men lived in accordance with the environment and the little waste they produced went back to the biological cycles. There was no waste and everything was recycled and re-used many times. The problem of waste sprang up with the birth of cities and the population growth.
- At present: with the Industrial Revolution the problem of waste started to be significant, because factories began to exploit resources extensively and they started to mass-produce goods, which were cheaper than the manufactured ones. Factories improved people’s quality of life, but at the same time they increased the quantity and nature of waste. New materials like plastic and chemicals were introduced.
- In the future: people need to find a solution to environmental problems which have become more and more pressing as factories developed, such as the problem of CO2 emissions and the overuse of plastic. In order to solve these problems, people have started to produce electric cars and biodegradable plastic and to use renewable sources of energy.
