Description
Recyclables from household waste refer to household waste materials that are suitable for recycling and resource recovery, primarily including waste paper, waste plastics, waste glass products, waste metals, and waste textiles. In this dataset, after recyclables from the collection stage enter the recyclable collection and distribution yard, mechanical and manual sorting methods are adopted to sort and bale various recyclables from household waste. The operation of machinery consumes a certain amount of electricity. The fresh water consumed is mainly used for cleaning equipment and the site during the production process. Wastewater generated by the project is discharged into the municipal pipe network after being treated to meet standards by on-site wastewater treatment facilities. Waste gas generated during the production process is discharged directly into the atmosphere after treatment by waste gas treatment facilities. All solid waste is effectively utilized with no external discharge. Compared with recyclable transfer stations, recyclable collection and distribution yards operate on a larger transfer scale. This dataset is applicable to processes involving the sorting and baling of mixed products of multiple categories.
Activity Description
