Understanding Waste Diversion
Waste diversion refers to waste materials that are redirected away from landfills through alternative methods. These include:
- Recycling: Processing materials like paper, plastic, metal, and glass into new products
- Composting: Breaking down organic waste (food scraps, yard waste) into nutrient-rich soil amendments
- Waste-to-Energy: Converting non-recyclable waste into electricity, heat, or fuel through controlled combustion or other technologies
- Reuse: Directly reusing materials without reprocessing (e.g., donating furniture, refurbishing electronics)
