The word residue comes from the Latin language in which residuum means "what remains, what remains. Thus, the term residue or residues gives us the idea of something that is not used and that is discarded after taking advantage of it or what it contained. From this same term arises the adjective residual that refers to some type of element or secondary circumstance, which appears as a collateral or secondary consequence of something main, for example when talking about residual expenses, they are the expenses that remain after a certain act.
The term residue (in its plural, waste) is a term that is normally used to designate all those remains and surpluses that remain from the consumption that humans do on a daily basis. Remains that result from the extreme consumption carried out by human beings and that are discarded because they are not considered useful
Secondary event that generates collateral consequences
The notion of waste can be applied to a myriad of elements or situations of everyday life, as long as the idea is given that something is discarded because it is not considered useful. However, in the case in which the idea of waste is used most frequently is when it refers to the elements that the human being in his daily life discards and throws away because they are not useful or essential for it.
The path of waste once they leave home and the problems they generate in the environment and in terms of deposits
The immediate destination of the waste is the garbage can in each house, or in public spaces.
Then, they are taken to the street, contained in a bag, and thrown in special containers destined for this purpose so that the waste collectors remove them and then continue a processing procedure in specialized plants.
The issue of waste is a major concern today for two reasons: First, the world's population is much higher today than at any other time in history, which means that the more population there is, the more waste will be produced.
This not only increased the amount of waste produced but also the difficulty of processing.
On the other hand, a large part of that world population consumes enormous quantities of products that, instead of being consumed directly and naturally, have endless packages, packaging and protection systems that cause more natural resources to be used and that, at the same time, At the same time, the discarded is much more.
The amount of waste that humans generate today limits the possibilities of recovery (since everything can never be recovered or recycled) and the spaces designated to store or bury such items are increasingly scarce.
There are reserves destined for their burial, but of course, each time they have less space in relation to the amount that there is to deposit.
The problem of waste is then extended to the whole world, especially to large cities, which is where it is produced most.
Solutions: garbage sorting and recycling of some materials
Municipal and national governments have started awareness campaigns for a few years with the aim of classifying garbage in its first stage of disposal, so that what finally reaches the final stage is necessarily discarded. In the middle of the road there will be all those plausible recycling materials, and for example, the citizen is being educated in this aspect of recycling.
It is suggested that the garbage be separated before being thrown into the baskets, placing recyclable waste in special and recognizable bags, and those that are not recyclable in other bags.
This practice not only favors recycling, but also helps reduce the environmental impact that garbage is generating in many parts of the world.
Sheets of paper, cardboard, glass, are materials that can be recycled and reused, and recycling campaigns are aimed at them.
Approximately 90% of our waste can be recycled and in the specific case of paper, indiscriminate felling of trees is thereby avoided with the mission of generating more and more paper ... Let us bear in mind that unfortunately there are few that simultaneously generate a consistent and successful tree reforestation process.
Those materials that are not possible to recycle are generically referred to as garbage, while other recyclable materials.
