What is recycled art and craft in creative way?

• Recycling and finding reuse materials is good for the environment and a necessity in hard times.But this is also when human started to think creativity,each material can make into a new form of modern materials.

Procedure

• Firstly pick up a recycle material that is suitable for making it into new object
• Then think how to reuse it
• After that search for the things that needed to make the material
• Finally, create the material into a creative way.

Art and Crafts Sustainability

• sustainability in arts and craft,reducing,reusing and recycling,is poised to remain a social responsibility issue and great marketing tool continuing out into near future.It is rare to see any type of company,noy just art and crafts,touting the fact that their raw materials and packaging materials are made from this or that percentage of post-customer (recycled) materials.
• Of course,arts and crafers have been recycling raw materials for years since it reduces the cost of goods sold.For an example,metal and woodcrafters collect and either reuse or sell scrap raw materials.Artists reuse canvasses by painting over them.Fabric designers scour used clothing stores to find clothing they can take apart and reassemble into their particular area of art of craft

What is recycle? 

Waste Management Recycling: An Easy Process To Practice

When we use the term management, it simply indicates the process of managing things in such a manner so that it will provide you with a desired result. However, when it comes to waste management recycling, it simply refers to the process of managing various types of waste materials for reusing them to make new products. Waste management recycling has become a very popular way of utilizing potentials of the waste materials. Practicing waste management recycling process in home is possible, as it is a very easy process. In order to get the best result in this regard, you need to follow certain very basic but essential steps. 

Collect the Waste Materials:
In order to recycle the waste materials at home, at first you have to collect the waste materials. You can eithercollect the waste materials from your home or can even ask from your neighbours for recycling process. Collection is thus the primary stage of waste management recyclingMake Categories of Waste Materials:
Now comes, the second step of waste management recycling process which is sorting out various waste materials, such as old metal, paper, wood, or plastic. You have to make sure that you properly categorise the waste materials. 

Clean the Waste Materials: 
After sorting out various types of waste materials in different categories, you have to clean those waste materials properly. Cleaning is very essential, as these materials will further go for production of new products that will be used by people. 

Sell them to Manufacturer: 
After all the above functions are performed properly, now you can sell the waste materials to the manufacturer who will make the products out of these waste materials. Going for a local known manufacturer will be good idea here.

Products are Ready: 
Everything is done. Products are manufactured and now ready to come to the market. By seeing the recycled products, one can even guess about it. While buying anything of that sort, the customers may not be aware of the fact that they are buying the recycled products. 

Finally we can say that recycling is a very useful process of waste management. It helps in preventing waste of potentially useful materials. Moreover, by reducing the consumption of fresh raw materials, it actually helps in reducing use of energy, air pollution and water pollution which are caused due to usual waste disposal, such as incineration and land-filling.

Fact findings of Global Waste Management and Disposal(2)

Recycling conserves natural resources

Throwaway society: disposable cutlery, disposable towels, disposable napkins, diapers, packaging, cameras…. There is no limit to let us feel good by inventing new kind of disposable products. "Throw away is liberating" claims the advertising. The future is bright in that sense. We already hear about disposable watches and mobile phones.

On the contrary, extending the lifetime of a product makes sense. Recycling contributes to increase resource efficiency in production and consumption.The Wuppertal Institute, for instance, estimated the total amount of materials recycled in the United Kingdom at around 54 million tones in 1996. The minimum of resource savings this way was about 167 million tones or about 3.1 tons saved per ton recycled. This was about 8 % of the total material requirement of the country.

Recycling aluminum saves resources

The Wuppertal Institute calculated the inputs from the environment ( resource extraction ) as well as the outputs to the environment ( disposal, emissions ) of 1 kg of primary and of 1 kg of secondary (recycled) aluminum.

	INPUT				OUTPUT
	scrap aluminum	Raw material	O2 ( for combustion)		Aluminum	waste	emission to air
Primary Aluminum	-	74t	11t		1t	65t	20t
Secondary Aluminum	1.2t	3t	0.65t		1t	2.8t	1.02t

Source: Wuppertal Institute, Material Flow Accounts - Aluminium

Aluminium is used in many packaging applications such as beverage cans, foils and laminates and represent 20% of aluminium waste in Europe. Consumption of aluminium packaging increased by more than 4% per year from 1980.
About 1 million tons of Aluminium is used for packaging each year in Europe:

• 40% for packaging foils
• 60% for rigid and semi-rigid packaging: cans, containers, sprays. = 32 Billion cans sold in Europe per year, 

Source:European Aluminium Association, Environment & Recycling

The European champions for recycling cans are Sweden with 92% and Switzerland 88%.
For the EU, the recycling targets for aluminium beverage cans set in the European directive on Packaging and Waste are met.
40% aluminium cans are recycled on the average (+ 10% since 1994) in Europe, worldwide over 50% of aluminium cans are recycled.
Aluminium has a high value as a scrap metal and can be recycled economically.

Recycling paper saves resources

Forests are cut primarily to produce paper products and lumber in roughly equal volumes, although the former is growing faster. The world consumes five times more paper now than in 1950. US offices' paper use soared from 0.85 to 1.4 trillion sheets (about 4.2 to 7 million tons) just between 1981 and 1984, as early desktop computers and laser printers were being introduced. Other countries did not lag far behind. From 1970 to 1990, paper production rose 4 % a year in Japan and in Southeast Asia, 8 %, compared with 2.5 % in the US.

Paper accounts for about 2 % of world trade and 2.5 % of world industrial production. Yet much of the paper produced is used only for a short time and then discarded. Only about a tenth of the paper stream goes into durable storage in such form as files, records and books. Much of the rest of printing and writing paper, which represented 28% of 1992 paper and paperboard consumption, find its way into the office. This paper accounts for as much as 70 % of typical office waste. During the years 1972-1987, America's discarded office printing and writing paper grew almost five times as fast as the human population, office paper over five times and copier paper almost ten times.

Recycling glass saves resources

Glass itself, as a material, is considered environmentally friendly since it has almost recyclability and it can be reused many times.

When recycled it saves greatly on raw materials and energy. Each ton of cullet used to manufacture glass saves on 1.2 tons of virgin raw materials (sand, limestone and soda ash). The substitution of each 10% of virgin raw materials in the furnace saves about 2% of the energy required for melting.

Source: Fédération Européenne de Verre d'Emballage

The US EPA estimates that the recycling of one glass container saves enough energy to light a 100 Watt bulb for 4 hours.
Recycling obviously also diverts materials from landfill and it also significantly reduces the amount of waste from mining that would otherwise be produced

Recycling plastics saves resources

The development of plastic materials has exploded in the second half of the XXth century.
Production of plastic materials in the world rose from less than 5 million tons in the 1950s to some 80 million tonnes in 1997. Consumption of plastics in Western Europe was about 28 million tons in 1997 (35% of world production).

Plastic packaging waste represents about 60% of the total plastic waste.
The distribution and industry sectors generate some 2,6 million tons out of the 9.8 million tons of post-user packaging waste produced in Western Europe. Household waste represent more than 70% of the overall plastic packaging waste.

Fact findings of Global Waste Management and Disposal

Aluminum Recycling Fact

	a)      A used aluminum can is recycled and back on the grocery shelf as a new can, in as little as 60 days. That's closed loop recycling at its finest!
	b)      Used aluminum beverage cans are the most recycled item in the U.S., but other types of aluminum, such as siding, gutters, car components, storm window frames, and lawn furniture can also be recycled.
	c)      Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours -- or the equivalent of a half a gallon of gasoline.
	d)      More aluminum goes into beverage cans than any other product.
	e)      Because so many of them are recycled, aluminum cans account for less than 1% of the total U.S. waste stream, according to EPA estimates.
	f)       An aluminum can that is thrown away will still be a can 500 years from now!
	g)      There is no limit to the amount of times an aluminum can be recycled.
	h)      We use over 80,000,000,000 aluminum soda cans every year.
	i)        At one time, aluminum was more valuable than gold!
	j)        A 60-watt light bulb can be run for over a day on the amount of energy saved by recycling 1 pound of steel. In one year in the United States, the recycling of steel saves enough energy to heat and light 18,000,000 homes!

Paper Recycling Facts

	a)      To produce each week's Sunday newspapers, 500,000 trees must be cut down.
	b)      Recycling a single run of the Sunday New York Times would save 75,000 trees.
	c)      If all our newspaper was recycled, we could save about 250,000,000 trees each year!
	d)      If every American recycled just one-tenth of their newspapers, we would save about 25,000,000 trees a year.
	e)      If you had a 15-year-old tree and made it into paper grocery bags, you'd get about 700 of them. A busy supermarket could use all of them in under an hour! This means in one year, one supermarket can go through over 6 million paper bags! Imagine how many supermarkets there are just in the United States!!!
	f)       The average American uses seven trees a year in paper, wood, and other products made from trees. This amounts to about 2,000,000,000 trees per year!
	g)      The amount of wood and paper we throw away each year is enough to heat 50,000,000 homes for 20 years.
	h)      Approximately 1 billion trees worth of paper are thrown away every year in the U.S.
	i)        Americans use 85,000,000 tons of paper a year; about 680 pounds per person.
	j)        The average household throws away 13,000 separate pieces of paper each year. Most is packaging and junk mail.
	k)      In 1993, U.S. paper recovery saved more than 90,000,000 cubic yards of landfill space.
	l)        Each ton (2000 pounds) of recycled paper can save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, three cubic yards of landfill space, 4000 kilowatts of energy, and 7000 gallons of water. This represents a 64% energy savings, a 58% water savings, and 60 pounds less of air pollution!
	m)    The 17 trees saved (above) can absorb a total of 250 pounds of carbon dioxide from the air each year. Burning that same ton of paper would create 1500 pounds of carbon dioxide.
	n)      The construction costs of a paper mill designed to use waste paper is 50 to 80% less than the cost of a mill using new pulp.

Plastic Recycling Facts

	a)      Americans use 2,500,000 plastic bottles every hour! Most of them are thrown away!
	b)      Plastic bags and other plastic garbage thrown into the ocean kill as many as 1,000,000 sea creatures every year!
	c)      Recycling plastic saves twice as much energy as burning it in an incinerator.
	d)      Americans throw away 25,000,000,000 Styrofoam coffee cups every year.

Glass Recycling Facts

	a)      Every month, we throw out enough glass bottles and jars to fill up a giant skyscraper. All of these jars are recyclable!
	b)      The energy saved from recycling one glass bottle can run a 100-watt light bulb for four hours or a compact fluorescent bulb for 20 hours. It also causes 20% less air pollution and 50% less water pollution than when a new bottle is made from raw materials.
	c)      A modern glass bottle would take 4000 years or more to decompose -- and even longer if it's in the landfill.
	d)      Mining and transporting raw materials for glass produces about 385 pounds of waste for every ton of glass that is made. If recycled glass is substituted for half of the raw materials, the waste is cut by more than 80%.

Solid Waste and Landfills

	a)      About one-third of an average dump is made up of packaging material!
	b)      Every year, each American throws out about 1,200 pounds of organic garbage that can be composted.
	c)      The U.S. is the #1 trash-producing country in the world at 1,609 pounds per person per year. This means that 5% of the world's people generate 40% of the world's waste.
	d)      The highest point in Hamilton County, Ohio (near Cincinnati) is "Mount Rumpke." It is actually a mountain of trash at the Rumpke sanitary landfill towering 1045 ft. above sea level.
	e)      The US population discards each year 16,000,000,000 diapers, 1,600,000,000 pens, 2,000,000,000 razor blades, 220,000,000 car tires, and enough aluminum to rebuild the US commercial air fleet four times over.
	f)       Out of every $10 spent buying things, $1 (10%) goes for packaging that is thrown away. Packaging represents about 65% of household trash.
	g)      On average, it costs $30 per ton to recycle trash, $50 to send it to the landfill, and $65 to $75 to incinerate it.

Miscellaneous Recycling Facts

	a)      An estimated 80,000,000 Hershey's Kisses are wrapped each day, using enough aluminum foil to cover over 50 acres of space -- that's almost 40 football fields. All that foil is recyclable, but not many people realize it.
	b)      Rainforests are being cut down at the rate of 100 acres per minute!
	c)      A single quart of motor oil, if disposed of improperly, can contaminate up to 2,000,000 gallons of fresh water.
	d)      Motor oil never wears out, it just gets dirty. Oil can be recycled, re-refined and used again, reducing our reliance on imported oil.
	e)      On average, each one of us produces 4.4 pounds of solid waste each day. This adds up to almost a ton of trash per person, per year.
	f)       A typical family consumes 182 gallons of soda, 29 gallons of juice, 104 gallons of milk, and 26 gallons of bottled water a year. That's a lot of containers -- make sure they're recycled! Sources: http://www.recycling-revolution.com/recycling-facts.html
