10+ Examples of Organic Waste
and Inorganic and How to Utilize it – In life, surely we will
produce waste or garbage.
Waste and garbage
This later must be managed properly so as not to damage the environment and
ecosystem balance is maintained.
No need to be confused
because this time Mamikos will give 10 examples of organic and inorganic waste
along with how to use it. So, keep reading the following article!
Definition of Waste
According to the Dictionary
In the Big Indonesian language, waste is an object or material or goods
which has no value, aka no longer valuable.
It can
because it has expired or has been used by
man.
Waste can too
is defined as the rest of the production process of an item or product. So,
waste or garbage that exists in this world is not just one type and is produced
from one place.
Kinds of Waste
There are several types
waste in the world, but this time we will only discuss the two most common types
In general, namely organic waste and inorganic waste.
Organic Waste
Organic waste
is waste or leftover goods that are no longer of value originating from
living beings.
So therefore,
This type of waste can be recycled and reused for needs
living beings.
Organic waste
easier to decompose because it naturally has a chemical substance that can
make it settle in soil or water.
Inorganic Waste
Different from organic wasteIn fact, inorganic waste is very difficult to decompose, so it requires special management methods.
Inorganic waste comes from products that are non-natural or man-made. So, this waste does not have special chemicals that help it decompose and settle.
Characteristics of Organic Waste
So that you are more
understand and recognize organic waste, the following are the characteristics it has
the waste:
1. There is water content
To help
In the process of decomposition and deposition, organic waste contains water.
2. Derived from the rest of the natural ingredients
Water content
in organic waste is caused because this waste comes from materials
naturally unaffected by human intervention.
3. Can be decomposed even if not processed
or manage
That’s why
organic waste can still decompose, decompose and settle even if you don’t
provide special management or processing.
4. Can be destroyed by microbes in
land
It is too
supported by microbes in the soil. These microbes can decompose
organic waste easily and quickly.
Characteristics of Inorganic Waste
Meanwhile,
Inorganic waste which is known to be difficult to decompose has the following characteristics
following:
1. Hard to decompose
Characteristics of waste
The main inorganic is difficult to decompose. Some even can’t
decomposes over hundreds or thousands of years.
2. Derived from the remains of human products
This is also meaningful
that inorganic waste is the remains of products that have been mixed
human hand.
Even though it used to be
perhaps the ingredients that make up the product are of natural origin, however
because it has been processed in such a way, the natural content disappears.
3. Not easily destroyed by microbes
on the ground
Don’t be surprised if
You’ve found inorganic waste from tens or hundreds of years ago.
This matter
because inorganic waste is difficult to destroy microbes in the soil so
not easy to settle.
4. Requires recycling process
Therefore,
to outsmart the nature of inorganic waste that is difficult to decompose, then you need
do some recycling. That way, inorganic waste is not
will pile up.
Types and Examples of Waste
Organic and Inorganic
After understanding
the characteristics of organic and inorganic waste, let’s study the types and
examples of organic and inorganic waste that is around us.
1. Wet Organic Waste
It’s called waste
organic wet because of its nature that has a water content more than
other natural ingredients.
Example of a type
These wastes are fruit peels, vegetable scraps, grains, rotten vegetables and
rotten fruit.
2. Dry Organic Waste
The opposite of
Wet organic waste, this type of waste has more water content
a little. That’s why this waste is categorized as dry waste.
An example is
dry leaves, tree branches, tree dykes, eggshells, fibers
coconuts and coconut shells.
3. Solid Inorganic Waste
As the name suggests, this waste is solid inorganic waste. Examples include scrap metal, aluminum, glass bottles and cups, melanin, and Plastic.
4. Liquid Inorganic Waste
That liquid
included in this type of waste is of course liquids that are harmful to creatures
life.
For example foam
dish soap, foam laundry detergent and liquid waste from
factory.
5. Gas Inorganic Waste
The latter
is an inorganic waste gas that cannot be held or touched. But it can
breathed and seen.
An example is
smoke from factory chimneys, motor vehicle exhaust and smoke from combustion
wild forest.
6. Inorganic Waste from Hazardous and Toxic Materials (B3)
This waste
are the remains of products from objects made of materials
dangerous.
For example
paint, used batteries, used vehicle oil, and electronic waste.
How to Utilize Organic and Inorganic Waste
After understanding
some examples of organic and inorganic waste that is around us, now
let’s learn about how to use these wastes.
This utilization
carried out with the aim of reducing the amount of waste that is on earth,
especially inorganic waste.
The following is
some things you can do to utilize organic waste and
inorganic:
1. Making Compost Fertilizer
One thing
what you can do to utilize organic waste is to make fertilizer
compost.
this fertilizer
using leftover vegetables, fruits, food, used paper, leaves
dry, grass, twigs and so on.
After all
the main ingredients of compost you collect, make a hole in the ground and put it in
all of these ingredients.
After entering
and mix all the waste, you just have to wait until the waste
decompose and change to resemble the surrounding soil.
Well, if you have
so, you can immediately use compost to fertilize
your plants.
2. Make Vegetable Broth
Another thing that can
What you do to use leftover vegetables is to make vegetable stock.
The method is very
It’s easy and you only need vegetable scraps, like carrot skins, tops
carrots, corn cobs, mushroom stalks, leek stalks and onion skins.
Enter
inside all the rest of the vegetables
pan. Add water, salt, pepper and bring to a boil.
after boiling,
reduce heat, cover and let rest 1 hour. If so, you can go straight
Pour the broth into ice cube trays while straining out the remaining vegetables
the.
Add broth
which is already printed inside freezer and use it whenever you cook.
Easy isn’t it?
3. Making Recycled Paper
For
used paper that is not used, you can make it as
composted or recycled into new paper.
To recycle paper, you need used paper that isn’t stained with oil, paint, dirt, or food.
Also, don’t use tissue paper, oil paper, gift wrap, photo paper or paper that has adhesive on one side (such as stickers and labels).
Then, you
requires old picture frames, fine window screens, plastic buckets that fit
for photo frames, sponges, unused towels, spatulas, used cloth and
blender (don’t use a blender for food!).
After all
collected materials and tools, starting from shredding used paper into small pieces,
put it in a blender, add water and crush until everything is mixed
and become quite thick pulp.
In a bucket
plastic, put smooth window screens and old picture frames. Make sure both
be in an even position.
Pour in the pulp
onto the photo frame print and smooth with a spatula. Cover with cloth then
carefully stick the sponge over the surface.
It will
make the sponge absorb the water content in the pulp. Do
being careful not to deform the paper.
After that, move it
paper on cloth and dry in a dry and warm place for less
more one day.
Repeat
these steps until you get the amount of paper you want!
4. Making Plant Pots
Well, for waste
You can recycle inorganic materials such as plastic bottles into plant pots
that’s funny!
The way is enough
It’s easy, you just need to remove the bottle brand label and cut it accordingly
desired shape.
After that, you
can paint it in bright colors and then let it dry.
Then, only then
You can put the planting media along with the fertilizer and then move the plants inside
the plastic bottle pot.
5. Reusing
For waste
inorganic, such as glass bottles, you can reuse as a container
drink or oil. You can also make a flower vase.
For
You can collect plastic bags for reuse. So,
No need to buy new plastic bags.
6. Sending to the Waste Management Institution
Well, for waste
inorganic B3, you can get rid of it, collect it before then
send it to a special institution that can handle these wastes.
Because, there is
special handling of B3 waste that cannot be done by anyone
people.
So, those are some examples of organic and inorganic waste and how to use them. Some you can apply at home. I mean, what do you want to try?
