Give an example each from daily life where the household waste can be effectively used and recycled respectively. ( CBSE 2009)

We can find various instances from our daily life where we can re-use and re-cycle household wastes.

Re-use:


Empty bottles of jam, pickles, vinegar can be used to store spices


Waste water from RO purifiers can be used for washing clothes, cars, etc.


Re-cycle:


Old newspapers, sheets, aluminium cans, plastic can be sent to factories to be recycled. But these wastes need to be segregated first.


Note – Reusing items is better than recycling them because recycling different materials needs some amount of energy.
