  1. Where does our recyclable waste go?

  2. We contacted OZO waste who collect the school’s waste. Here’s what they told us….

  3. When our waste is collected it is brought to the Ozo recycling plant.

  4. At the plant the waste is put on a conveyor belt and sorted by hand.

  5. The waste is sorted into different categories. • Cardboard • Paper • Glass • Plastics • Metal

  6. Paper • The paper is bailed and shipped to pulp mills in the UK. • There it is recycled into new paper.

  7. Glass • Our glass is shipped to Northern Ireland. • Here it is recycled.

  8. Plastic, Timber and Aluminium • Our plastic, timber and aluminium go to a company called Leinster Environmental. • They ship it off to other companies where it is made into new products.

  9. While it is good to recycle, it is better to reuse or reduce. • Recycling all the recyclable waste we create in our school involves using a lot of energy.

  10. Using up lots of fossil fuels and polluting the atmosphere.

  14. What’s the Solution? • Try to reuse instead of recycling. • Try to reduce your waste by not using as much plastic, paper, cans, cardboard and metal. • If you must throw out your waste, then recycle as much as you can.
