Waste to Wealth - Does recycling means business

Recycling  of the so called waste materials is a good step for the benefit of  all the corner from environmental angle, judicial use of natural resourcess, employment to unemployed youth, economic to the industries, minimising the pollution problems etc. Research and development work is neede in this field. good subject- opinion are also useful

I agree with Binoy that there must be a business model for waste management.

yes it helps lot in economy development

A VERY USEFUL,PRODUCTIVE AND HYGIENIC IDEA.LET US ENCOURAGE.

Recycling does help economy development. This is a new avenue for business, employment and waste reduction/utilisation. No doubt, it is an environmental issues. I think one needs to see the root cause of this environmental issue and make the recycling eco friendly, this itself is a bigger work for researchers and economy development. Waste generation cannot be stopped and if recycling is stopped - what will happen to effective utilisation of materials?

Though recycleing is good both as business and in environmental prospective but at the same time it should not be used for any industrial use as a raw material/s. It can cause catostrophy I hope friends youy understand. 

Yes definitely it is good for economy development and business purpose... There is so many advantages of recycling the material and other things.. But in India very few people aware about recycling...

Follow nature, that could be your business successes. The nature is re-cycling the water by herself. The air is re-cycled by nature. So why we should not re-cycle. The man is viewing all his deeds on a business angle. So let us combine the  nature to the modern business together to say natures business.   

Recycling business for India is very good concept. Population of India helps us to do that business. And obviously it helps in economy development.

Recycling is predominantly an environmental concern. It also becomes a business focus as people/resources are employed to undertake the recycling activity.

However, in some cases, on account of key environmental concerns, even if it does not lead to business improvement, the activity needs to be undertaken as part of environmental improvements.....

Recycling is an option being extensively used in India, paper, metal, rags etc which can be seen all over India.  Use and throw is the concept of the European and american nations not us. 

Of course it may be a good business and may have other advantages. But I would not recommend the recycled material to be used in electrical power transmission equipment. 

For example, in case it is used in electrical cables with copper/alumiium conductors PVC insulated [ scrap material of conductors and PVC are recycled and used ] it will lead to loose the good electrical parameters in conductors and loss in dielectric strength of PVC. As a result there will not be proper flow of current and improper conductivity in conductors, which will create more resistance and heat and in turn lead to burning of cables and other electrical equipments connected.  

Thanks for the referral Ms. Isha Verma.

Definitely yes,,

no doubt, let it be in any field, consider waste water management, just for information i'll tell you that if an average manufacturing plant starts recycling and reusing its waste water for sanitary or gardening or for  manufacturing again then their fresh water consumption can come down to 70%, converting it into cost saved annually will be huge amount,,

and many countries recycling business is now somewhere in the mainstream businesses..

I truly support recycling

very good debate (Meaningful)

There is fantastic scope for recycling in India. Some really good business plans ith above average returns on investment are definitely possible. The sad part of it is that there is no recycling infrastructure iin this country. Even today when the awareness is high, how many house holds segregate their garbage? That is the first step. Industrial recycling is happening in flashes here and there. But when it comes to doing it in an organized manner we are definitly way....way....behind.

U are right Isha. In all aspect recycling is very good for environment and nations economy.
