Question

plastic
Why should
segregate different types of
waste​

Answer 1

Answer:

Waste segregation is included in law because it is much easier to recycle. Effective segregation of wastes means that less waste goes to landfill which makes it cheaper and better for people and the environment. It is also important to segregate for public health.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The first reason is it is legally required. Under the Waste Regulations 2011, you must segregate paper, cardboard, plastic, metal and glass at source unless it is technically or economically unfeasible. Under the same regulations, you should implement the waste hierarchy; reduce, reuse, recycle, other recovery and disposal. By law, you should implement this hierarchy and segregation helps with recycling in particular.
