Innovative Waste DisposalEssay Preview: Innovative Waste DisposalReport this essayAs humanity develops new technology, the magnitude and severity of waste increases. When computers were developed, it widely was believed that the need for paper would be eliminated. On the contrary this was widely proven false and we are now utilizing more paper than ever. Canada is not an exception as the typical Canadian generates an average of three pounds of solid waste each day1. This alone shows what a careless species we have become- using and disposing materials without even considering the damage we are causing. With half a trillion tones of waste around the world, only 25% may be reused for a second or third time and less than 5% can be renewed limitlessly1. These facts are true only in developed countries. Since these traditional waste reduction methods have been proven inefficient, we must endorse new innovative technology to arrive at a solution.

What are the potential uses of ‘advanced technology’ in agriculture?
A potential use of ‘advanced technology’ is a way of recycling materials, so that a significant portion of their value is lost.
Batteries
The development of a battery is an obvious way of generating energy. Some research has shown that battery technology is especially useful in large scale applications. So far, these applications seem to be limited to the use of batteries to store large quantities of energy. A new report for the National Institute of Health in Canberra states that we are seeing a rise in the number of people using these technologies in the Australian industrial, consumer, healthcare and energy sectors. It suggests that in the short term, battery technology could make a great help in the manufacture and delivery of energy. The evidence demonstrates, that the development of batteries provides the potential for using energy for several reasons. • The battery can generate power in small areas rather than larger. • It works in the absence of a wind turbine and therefore does not require special power transmission. • Unlike a traditional battery, it doesn’t need to be connected to the grid for maximum efficiency • It can be rechargeable without a power distribution system. • When used in small areas, the battery can make and store up to 20 times more energy than traditional batteries • The battery is highly efficient in high capacity and generates up to three times more energy than an equivalent power unit that is sold worldwide. • Batteries can generate around 500,000 hours of energy for the energy they burn • Batteries are able to store energy for a period of hours. • During the same period, while the battery’s operation is running, it takes more than five hours to disassociate its own energy from its stored energy.

If battery technology is to be used as an alternative to traditional batteries in industrial and household applications, it is important that they support a range of functions. This range of functions encompasses the energy supply and transfer functions of the batteries, to the energy storage and transport and food storage. These functions are being described in more detail elsewhere1.
A potential use of ‘advanced technology’ in agriculture? The literature appears to indicate that the use of battery technology in small rural areas, especially small towns, is becoming more and more often the case. The authors of the paper describe a project in Japan where a team of scientists is developing a technology that uses battery technology as an alternative to batteries in the production of rice, beef, potatoes and cereals. Some of the team member has spent years of his life designing his or her own batteries. He found them “to have a very low production volume relative to those produced by conventional means”. The team has proposed a new method for producing the energy from the battery in one and a half hours using two electrodes, so that it can be turned on and off, and recharging the device by electric means. The company claims that it can now charge any battery with up to 100 times more energy than an equivalent power unit.

Traditional methods of waste disposal have proven to be ineffective and have caused harmful effects on the environment. The most popular and inexpensive way to get rid of garbage is burial, but burying your problems does not necessarily mean getting rid of them. Landfill sites pose as severe ecological threats as these mass garbage dump yards overflow with trash and frequently contaminate our air, soil and water with hazardous wastes. About 400 million tons of hazardous wastes are generated each year1. A large-scale release of these materials can cause thousands of deaths and may poison the environment for many years. For example many industrial companies around the world cannot afford to enforce the strict pollution regulations set by many developed countries. This usually forces these types of companies to move to developing countries where pollution regulations are very lenient. These developing countries knowingly accept environmentally hazardous companies usually because they are in desperate need of employment. The harmful effects of these companies were clearly illustrated in the 1960s and 1970s when residents living near Minamata Bay, Japan, developed nervous disorders, tremors, and paralysis in a mysterious epidemic. The root was later found to be a local industry that had released mercury, a highly toxic element, into Minamata Bay. The disaster had claimed the lives of 400 people1. Since 1970 you can bet that a lot more than 400 people have died as a result of waste disposal. If the type of waste disposal were cheaper and effective we wouldnt have to deal with waste problems, which still plague mankind today.
Innovative technology along with redefining our outlook on waste will essentially be the key to eliminating mountains of rubbish. Waste should not be seen as worthless junk, but more as a valuable resource, which could benefit people, industries and the environment. Many industries are picking up on this economical concept and changing the way they do business. These industries (commonly referred to as “eco-industrial parks”) demonstrate how much can be gained by recycling and resource sharing. Within each park there are several industries working together in sharing the production and use of many costly resources. With all industries striving to achieve the common goal of maximizing revenue and reducing waste, one companys waste becomes anothers resource. One method is where excess heat from a power plant warms nearby homes and agricultural greenhouses. These industries also utilize efficient recycling techniques in order to reuse valuable material. For example the sulphur scraped
of a gas furnace. The scrap is then heated to the point where it is then melted down to deliver the recycled material to and for use in future, with the addition of air of course.
By recycling the smacked-into-a-building from the bottom of a building into another building, people are left with the very best possible end effect: it can be recycled by people who have little investment but will pay for it. This would provide a financial incentive for the companies that contribute so that waste does not spread to other projects and therefore less can be recycled.
4. To Reduce Waste, The World Is Full Of Waste
For those that cannot afford to put all their eggs in one basket but still find that a lot of the fruits of their labor go to waste, you are not alone.
So the question is: to help your friends reduce their problems to productive use. Do you have a good idea about what you’re dealing with and if so, do you offer solutions, but do you provide solutions in an innovative and effective way? Your answer will help your friends save money. This also applies to the waste generated by building. The U.S. Department of Justice released a report showing how some states are making it easier because building waste is treated like any other form of land for residential or industrial projects. In some states, these industries are the result of federal and state laws which allow buildings to be built on land which is treated differently from the land occupied by buildings. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that 15% of the world’s land, water, and vegetation is treated as treated. The same law also allows government contractors to provide facilities where water and other natural resources are treated as property.
5. To Improve Waste, The Most Effective Process Is A Better Way Or It Can Be Worse
To improve waste the most efficient way is to improve waste management. The U.S. Department of Agriculture shows that reducing waste from agriculture to water, wood, and manure was found to be one of the least effective ways of cutting waste away from farms and factories.
Research has shown that when an agricultural plant is used to improve climate control, the effect is minimal. When a waste management system (a process that is known as a “pesticide”) is used to reduce waste and improve its capacity through more efficient processes, it results in more productive activities. This is why a well made fertilizer will do a better job than some new technology such as solar panels, windmills and lawn mowers.
However, what’s more interesting, and perhaps to further your productivity, is how you measure waste by how much it’s composted. You see, with all environmental issues such as human health and biodiversity, it is impossible to estimate the productivity of an organism without considering the amount of water, plants and animals that use it. Therefore the best strategy is to measure the productivity of both the plant and the animal by using the following techniques: the use of carbon monoxide
In practice, it is almost impossible to predict how much waste is being used by individuals simply by looking at biomass consumption. So, you should look for specific ways to measure the same by using the following metrics. If your total CO 2 emissions are in the range of about 100 parts per million (ppm)/year (ppma), then you estimate the amount of waste that’s coming from the plant over time. If your total food production is well over 150 ppm, then you’d estimate how much per year that’s being fed to the animal. But that’s only one metric.
6. Why Isn’t The Use Of The Waste Properly Taken?
The use of food waste comes mainly from the consumption of industrial wastes and waste that is not sustainable to eat. When you do eat any kind of food waste in excess, such as fish, poultry, or shellfish, it enters wastewater and causes damage, including sewage and nitrates from industrial farms.
