We have consumed available resources as if they were unlimited, and at the same time we generate a huge quantity of waste, thereby contaminating the Earth. The amount of waste in our society reflects how much resources we consume. We, as modern society, create more products and packaging which is visually appealing but cannot be easily decomposed. Energy demands, resource limitations, and environmental pollution are closely linked. Available resources and the environmental capacity to absorb waste are limited, and consequently may threaten the existence of a sustainable society. It is a well-known fact that resource recovery and recycling benefit the environment. Resource recovery and recycling offer great potential to enhance resource management and reduce waste disposal. They will prolong the lifespan of landfills, and restrain natural resource depletion to ensure sustainable development of resource- intensive industries. Resource recovery and waste recycling are very important practices for community and industrial activities, and they contribute to the solution of the problems. As the population of the world increases, recycling is becoming increasingly more important. This approach provides effective solutions to cope with depletion of natural resources and waste generation caused by the mass production and mass consumption of the present highly civilized social system. Waste recycling is a process for reusing materials, either directly, indirectly, or through energy utilization. Recycling is the process of separating, collecting and remanufacturing or converting used or waste products into new materials. It involves a series of steps to produce new products; turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources. The term “waste recycling” in its simplest sense means the return of a discarded material or article to the same product system, such as the return of waste paper to make new paper. The recycling of materials has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emission, energy consumption, and other environmental impacts due to the substitution of virgin materials with recycled materials. The emissions from extraction and manufacturing of products from virgin materials can be minimized. This book is concerned with several aspects of waste materials recycling, and is divided into three sections. The first section addresses the current problem of X Preface household waste generation in Romania, followed by an explanation of roles of stakeholders, both informal and formal sectors, in post-consumer waste activities. Case studies in Brazil, Indonesia and Japan are presented. Many countries, such as Japan, encourage their residents to use group collection programs, and some municipalities even provide financial support. The second section discusses the analysis tools for recycling system, particularly the concept of dual traceable ownership system, the economic aspects of recycling, recycling of mobile phones, design for e-waste recycling deposit system in China and reverse logistics model post- consumers for PET in Brazil. The third section of this book focuses on the recycling process and optimal production. It consists of modeling of recycling in LCA, optimal production decision in the closed-loop supply chain, multi-step of products approach based on ADSM, material and energy flow in iron and steel enterprise, the energy consumption of recycling processes, and mechanism to reduce the size of different materials in recycling industries. I hope that this book will convey both the need and means for recycling and resource conservation activities to a wide readership, at both academician and professional level, and contribute to the creation of a sound material-cycle society. As an editor of this book, I would like to thank all the authors for their considerable contribution. I also express my gratitude to Ms. Romina Skomersic, the Publishing Process Manager at InTech, who did an excellent job at encouraging us to do our tasks within the deadlines. Without her this book would not have been published.
