PROJECT
Q. Survey and make a report of recycling of
materials practiced at your home and create
awareness among people.
INTRODUCTION:
Recycling is the process of converting waste
materials into new materials and objects. This
concept often includes the recovery of energy from
waste materials. The recyclability of a material
depends on its ability to reacquire the properties it
had in its original state. It is an alternative to
"conventional" waste disposal that can save
material and help lower greenhouse gas emissions.
It can also prevent the waste of potentially useful
materials and reduce the consumption of fresh raw
materials, reducing energy use, air pollution (from
incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling).
Recycling is a key component of modern waste
reduction and is the third component of the
"Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" waste hierarchy. It
promotes environmental sustainability by removing
raw material input and redirecting waste output in
the economic system. There are some ISO
standards related to recycling, such as ISO
15270:2008 for plastics waste and ISO 14001:2015
for environmental management control of recycling
practice.

IMPORTANCE OF TOPIC:
Recycling is important for the environment, the
economy, and communities:
Environment
Recycling helps reduce the amount of waste that
ends up in landfills and incinerators. It also reduces
the need to extract, refine, and process raw
materials, which can cause air and water pollution.
Recycling also helps to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions that contribute to climate change.
Economy
Recycling creates jobs, wages, and tax revenues.
The recycling industry provides half of the world's
raw materials and this figure is set to increase.
Community
Recycling provides a healthier and more
sustainable alternative to waste management
facilities in underserved communities.
OBJECTIVES:
Recycling has several objectives, including:
Reducing waste
Recycling reduces the amount of waste that ends
up in landfills and incinerators.
Conserving natural resources
Recycling reduces the need to extract natural
resources like water, timber, and minerals for new
products.
Reducing pollution and greenhouse gases
Recycling reduces the need to mine and process
new raw materials, which helps reduce air and
water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
Saving energy
Recycling uses less energy than producing new
products from raw materials. For example,
recycling 10 plastic bottles saves enough energy to
power a laptop for over 25 hours.
Protecting natural habitats
Recycling helps protect natural habitats for future
generations.
Setting good examples
Schools can set good examples for children to
follow by developing recycling habits.
METHODOLOGY:

The methodology for recycling involves the

collection, sorting, cleaning, and reprocessing of
materials for reuse:
Collection: Recycling begins with the collection of
used materials from private residences,
commercial establishments, and public spaces.
Recycling bins can be strategically placed in public,
residential, and industrial areas.
Sorting: Once collected, the materials are sorted.
Cleaning: The materials are cleaned.
Reprocessing: The materials are reprocessed into
new materials for manufacturing new products.
There are several types of recycling, including:
Mechanical recycling: One of the most widely used
methods for recycling.
Energy recycling: A method for converting plastics
into thermal and electric energy.
Chemical recycling: Another type of recycling.
Question to be asked in METHODOLOGY:
1) Do you recycle at home?
2) How frequent do you recycle at home?
3) What are the things you recycle the most?
4) Does recycling help the environment?
5) What motivates you to recycle at home?
6) Do you recycle food at your home?
7) What materials cannot be recycled?
8) What happens when you put all the
recycling materials together?
9) Is it possible to recycle aluminum foil?
10) Does recycling harms the environment?

ANALYSIS DATA
Recycling rates
Recycling rates in India vary by material type:
Paper: 30–65%
Plastic: 50–70%
Glass bottles: 100%
Recycling contributors
Households, sweepers, and itinerant waste
merchants all contribute to recycling.
Recycling amounts
India recycles 1.2–2.4 × 109 kg of
newspapers and 2.4–4.3 × 109 kg of mixed
paper and cardboard annually. It also recycles
6.5–8.6 × 109 kg of plastic, >. 6 × 109 kg of
metal, and >. 3 × 109 kg of glass every year.
Informal sector
A large portion of waste is collected and
recycled in the informal sector.
Plastic waste
According to a 2020 study, India could lose
over $133 billion in plastic material value over
the next 10 years due to unsustainable
packaging.
Do the pie chart by yourself the
degrees are mentioned above.

CONCLUSION:
Recycling process is a return to a naturally
occurring substance. A good example is
recycling plastic into the crude oil and
minerals it was made from. This would
conclude with reusing everything we now
dump in landfills.
OR
Recycling waste material is that it reduces the
amount of waste sent to landfills and
incinerators, conserves natural resources,
saves energy, and reduces greenhouse gas
emissions. By recycling materials like paper,
plastic, glass, and metals, the need to extract
and process new raw materials is diminished,
which in turn reduces the environmental
impact associated with resource extraction
and processing. Recycling also helps to divert
waste from landfills, which can help extend
the lifespan of existing landfills and reduce
the need to create new ones. Additionally, the
recycling process typically requires less
energy than the production of new materials
from raw resources, leading to energy savings
and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Overall,
recycling is an important strategy for
sustainable waste management and
environmental protection.
& RESULT:
Results of Recycling and Public Awareness
I. Increased Recycling Rates
Heightened awareness leads to greater
participation in recycling programs, resulting
in higher rates of material recovery and less
waste in landfills.
II. Environmental Benefits
Reduced landfill waste decreases greenhouse
gas emissions and pollution, contributing to
improved air and water quality. Recycling also
conserves natural resources, minimizing
habitat destruction.
III. Energy Savings
Recycling often requires less energy
compared to producing new materials from
raw resources. For example, recycling
aluminum saves up to 95% of the energy
needed to create it from bauxite ore.

IV. Economic Growth

Increased recycling activity can stimulate job
creation in the recycling and manufacturing
sectors, promoting local economies and
sustainable business practices.
V. Community Engagement
Awareness initiatives foster community pride
and responsibility, encouraging residents to
work together for a cleaner environment. This
can lead to more collaborative community
projects.
VI. Behavioral Change
Education about recycling impacts long-term
behavioral changes, making recycling a
 regular habit rather than an occasional
activity.
VII. Innovation in Recycling Technologies
Increased demand for recycling can spur
advancements in recycling technologies and
methods, making the process more efficient
and effective.
Global Impact
VIII. On a larger scale, widespread recycling
and awareness contribute to global
sustainability efforts, helping to combat
climate change and preserve ecosystems.

 EVS ASSIGNMENT
ASSIGNMENT 1
Q. Describe concept and aims of sustainable
of development
INTRODUCTION:
Sustainable development aims to balance the
needs of the economy, environment, and social
well-being. The Brundtland Report in 1987 helped
to make the concept of sustainable development
better known. Sustainable development overlaps
with the idea of sustainability which is a normative
concept.
IMPORTANCE:
Sustainable development is a concept that aims to
meet the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs. It's based on the idea of
balancing competing needs while being aware of
the environmental, social, and economic limitations
of society.
Some of the aims of sustainable development
include:
Meeting basic needs: Ensuring access to water,
education, health, employment, and fighting
hunger and malnutrition
Improving quality of life: Making it easier to access
medical care, social services, and culture
Protecting the planet: Limiting the impact of
human activities on the environment and
protecting the natural balance of the planet
Promoting renewable energy: Using wind, solar,
and geothermal power
Reducing inequality: Narrowing the gap between
rich and poor countries
Sustainable development is a complex concept
that can be interpreted in different ways. It's often
associated with three pillars: environmental,
economic, and social.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELPOMENT CAN BE HEPLFUL FOR
INDIA’ S ECONOMY IN MANY WAYS INCLUDING:
Economic growth: Sustainable development can
help create a sustainable and growing economy. It
can also create new jobs and encourage new ideas.
Environmental protection: Sustainable
development can help protect and enhance the
environment by reducing pollution and waste, and
working to reduce the global carbon footprint.
Social inclusion: Sustainable development can help
provide housing for future generations and create
healthy communities.
Private sector involvement: Companies can
contribute to India's climate goals by shifting their
focus to environmental initiatives.
CONCLUSION:
the desired outcomes of sustainable development
encompass economic prosperity, environmental
conservation, social equity, and poverty reduction.
Achieving these outcomes requires a collective
effort from governments, businesses, and
individuals.
Government-business collaboration: Private
investment aligned with government efforts can
help drive the transition to a more sustainable
future.
Circular economy: India's mindset is already
accepting of circular aspects, such as vehicle repair
and recycling of post-use materials.
ASSIGNMENT 2
Q. Explain structure of ecosystem
INTRODUCTION:
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms
and their physical environment that interact with
each other. Ecosystems can be natural or artificial,
and can be found on land or in water. They can be
of any size, but some examples include a forest, a
pond, or a coral reef. The structure of an
ecosystem typically consists of several key
components that interact with each other. These
components can be grouped into biotic (living) and
abiotic (non-living) factors. These components
interact dynamically, influencing the overall health
and functioning of the ecosystem.

IMPORTANCE:
The structure of an ecosystem is important
because it helps to support life and regulate
essential ecological processes. The structure of an
ecosystem helps to:
Provide habitats: Ecosystems provide habitats for
plants and animals.
Support food chains and webs: Ecosystems support
various food chains and webs.
Maintain energy flow: Ecosystems help maintain
the flow of energy through the carbon, water,
nitrogen, and oxygen cycles.
Recycle nutrients: Ecosystems recycle nutrients
between biotic and abiotic components.
Regulate ecological processes: Ecosystems
regulate essential ecological processes and
maintain stability.
Balance trophic levels: Ecosystems maintain
balance among the various trophic levels.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE ECOSYSTEM:

They include factors such as light, radiation,
temperature, water, chemicals, gases, wind and
soil. In some environments, such as marine
environments, pressure and sound can be
important abiotic components. Amazon River
Abiotic the Amazon River provides and removes
excess water to and from the environment.
CONCLUSION:
ecosystems have a complex set of interactions that
happen between the biotic and abiotic
components. The components of an ecosystem are
linked to each other through the energy flows and
nutrient cycles.
ASSIGNMENT 3:
Q. What are the values of Biodiversity? Describe its
value.
INTRODUCTION:
Biodiversity provides ecological life support. It
actively supports functioning ecosystems that
provide oxygen, pest control, plant pollination,
clean air and water, wastewater treatment and a
variety of other ecosystem services.
IMPORTANCE:
Biodiversity has many values, including:
Environmental values
Biodiversity provides clean water, regulates water
flow, helps maintain soil fertility, and more.
Social values
Biodiversity provides aesthetic, cultural, spiritual,
and recreational values, and the health benefits
that come from these activities.
Economic values
Biodiversity has a large economic potential,
including in food, medicine, and fodder.
Consumptive use value
Biodiversity provides natural products that we use
directly, such as food and fuel.
Productive use value
Biodiversity provides products that are harvested
and sold commercially.
Ethical and moral values
Biodiversity relates to the conservation of all life
forms, as everyone has a right to live.
Biodiversity's values can be direct or indirect.
Direct values can be consumptive or productive,
while indirect values include social and cultural
values, ethical values, aesthetic values, and
optional and environmental values.
CONCLUSION:
Biodiversity is our life. If the biodiversity got lost at
this rate then in the near future, the survival of
human beings will be threatened. So, it is our duty
to conserve biodiversity as well our environment.
Long- term maintenance of species and their
management requires co-operative efforts across
entire landscape. Biodiversity should be dealt with
scale of habitats or ecosystems rather than at
species level.
ASSIGNMENT 4:
Q. explain renewable and non-renewable resources
in detail.
INTRODUCTION:
Renewable resources are naturally replenished at a
rate that's faster than they're consumed, while
nonrenewable resources have a limited supply that
can't be replaced quickly enough.
IMPORTANCE OF REWNEWABLE RESOURCES:
Renewable resources are important because they
are a key to a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable
world. Generating energy that produces no
greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and
reduces some types of air pollution. Diversifying
energy supply and reducing dependence on
imported fuels. Creating economic development
and jobs in manufacturing, installation, and more.
IMPORTANCE OF NON-REWNEWABLE RESOURCES:
Non-renewable resources, such as coal and oil, are
the primary source of power in the world, and they
are used to power vehicles, factories, and homes.
Although affordable, they can be harmful to the
environment and are one of the notable
contributors to global warming.

CONCLUSION:
Renewable resources are resourced that would not
exhaust even after continuously using them.
However, resources that are not immediately
replaced after usage and can be depleted with
constant consumption are known as nonrenewable
resources.
