As a country move towards prosperity, and growth in every aspect, the need of
resources will definitely increase. So is the need of metals. The demand of
metal in turn increases the consumption of natural resources.
We all know
that most of the natural resources used in production are non-renewable. If we
do not control the usage, they will not be available for the future use. In a
report by the TATA steel company, it was told that the consumption of steel is
much more than the consumption of food! Sounds funny? However that is
true.
For 200 years we have been conquering Nature, now we are beating it
to death. If the need for natural resources is not controlled now, all the
resources will be depleted in a short span of time. And let's understand that
when soil disappears, soul disappears. The four basic ways to control this
demand are:
* Innovations in technologies of processing
* Finding a
substitute for one resource that is scarce.
* Technologies to recycle
metal scrap
* Researches in product design that will use fewer resources
than before.
Of these four solutions, recycling is found very much effective.
The reason being, recycling reduces the usage of resources and energy. This
reduces the environmental, social, and the economic cost of
manufacturing.
These scrap
metals behave as the secondary raw materials. Because materials like
aluminium can be recycled indefinitely as there is no change to the original
materials. These recycled materials are purer than the actual ones.
Recycling is slightly more complicated than just collecting a bin full
of empty cans and old newspapers to keep them out of the waste stream. There are
certain rules laid by the Government. It is horrifying that we have to fight our
own government to save the environment. Just joking! Nevertheless the order to
all of us by the environment is that
• Reduce.
• Reuse.
•
Recycle.
We all know that there is no use of running fast in a wrong path.
All of us can agree that the economic growth in the country is extremely fast.
However the geophysical scarcity will retard or even stop the economic growth in
future. So a substitute for the usage of raw materials is essential. Definitely
recycled scrap metal could be used as a secondary source of raw material. If we
take care of the earth and she will take care of us!
So "TAKE
CARE."
