Give an example each from daily life where the household waste can be effectively used and recycled respectively.

We can find various instances from our daily life where we can re-use and re-cycle household wastes.

Re-use:


Empty bottles of jam, pickles, vinegar can be used to store spices


Waste water from RO purifiers can be used for washing clothes, cars, etc.


Re-cycle:


Old newspapers, sheets, aluminium cans, plastic can be sent to factories to be recycled. But these wastes need to be segregated first.


Note – Reusing items is better than recycling them because recycling different materials needs some amount of energy.
