Recycling of waste and garbage is not only useful for the environment and society as a whole, but also an opportunity to earn some money.
Indeed, garbage is the raw material thatliterally lying around underfoot. Recycling as a business can be attributed to a socially significant area. The benefit from the implementation of this type of activity is not only felt in the wallet of the entrepreneur, but also becomes cleaner around. The relevant business plan is likely not only to be approved by the municipal authorities, but also the possibility of receiving grants and subsidies from the budget.
Therefore, as an optimal solution you canselect two areas of activity: the stage of processing should be integrated into the existing production cycle, or a separate plant for recycling should be built. So, we will consider everything in order.
Different types of waste can be recycled. It is on their choice and depends on the implementation of the subsequent stages of launching production. The main types of secondary raw materials include:
The whole production process consists ofseveral stages. Therefore, an entrepreneur needs to decide: whether his enterprise will only sort and recycle garbage in order to obtain semi-finished products (materials that can become raw materials in other industries), or it will be a “closed loop” and the finished product will turn out. As for semi-finished products, one can cite the following examples: rubber tires are made of automobile tires, special granules of glass, and small pressed blocks of polymers. Pellets obtained from wood waste can be mentioned as a finished product. Chipboard is made from sawdust, and toilet paper is obtained from waste paper.
By the way, in the paper recycling businesswaste I would like to dwell in more detail, since its implementation is an excellent opportunity to save the life of many trees. From the obtained raw materials, you can get two types of finished product: paper for writing and cardboard. Moreover, the processing of cardboard is quite profitable and quickly pays for the production process.
So, the entrepreneur decided onproduction orientation of the business. The next important step is recycling technology. To do this, you must purchase the appropriate equipment. If we consider a universal waste recycling plant, it will require substantial costs at the very beginning of the organization of this business. At the same time, the machine with manual control and automated lines vary considerably in cost.
More affordable will still be equipment for processing one type of garbage. His list is directly dependent on the choice of production specifics.
For example, when processing tires, you need the following equipment:
As a result, the resulting rubber crumb canbe widely used as an additive in asphalt during pavement repairs. This semi-finished product can be quite successfully sold to road repairmen.
If it is planned to recycle household waste, for example, plastic bottles, then in this case it is necessary to purchase equipment for:
The main set of equipment (machines and accessories) can cost the entrepreneur up to 500 thousand rubles, an automatic line - at least 1 million rubles.
When processing this type of garbage it is necessary to take into account the fact that the bottles must be carefully re-sorted according to the color and type of polymer.
To date, the most affordable remainsequipment for the processing of wood waste (pellets), since due to its use a business entity can immediately receive the finished product, and not semi-finished products or raw materials. This is a technological process of the so-called “closed cycle”, and mini-machines make absolutely all stages of the production process: from thorough grinding to granulation. And their cost is quite affordable - up to 300 thousand rubles. Finished products in the form of briquettes is the fuel for boilers and home boilers.
If recycling is considered asbusiness, then it already refers to the production activity for which it is necessary to issue a corresponding license. It can be obtained at Rosprirodnadzor both to an individual entrepreneur and to a legal entity if all the necessary requirements are met. Among them is the presence of:
When making this license is necessarypresent: the project documentation, the relevant permission of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station, the conclusions of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Rostekhnadzor, Rospotrebnadzor and the lease agreement or documents on the ground. Each individual permit is not issued free of charge and costs about 1.5-2 thousand rubles. Also at this stage there may be costs for putting in order the territory and premises.
The deadline for obtaining a license is -from a week to several months. It should be noted that separate licenses are required for each type of activity: collection, transportation, storage and recycling.
Thus, all necessary permissionsreceived, the room is prepared, the equipment is delivered and installed. Therefore, it is time to start recruiting. In other words, you need to organize directly the production process itself.
Recycling as a business should includesuch an important moment as the receipt of recyclables. In this case, there are several options that differ from each other depending on the type of raw material chosen.
If you plan to recycle the constructionrubbish, it can be taken at the relevant production facilities or in the joinery workshops. At any construction site there is a constant problem with garbage collection. And if the entrepreneur offers a self-pickup, then such raw materials can be obtained for a pittance (only the costs of organizing transportation are coming).
Getting car tires can also bearranged with a minimum investment. For example, it is easy to negotiate with the tire and SRT. Waste paper can be obtained from stores where there is a lot of packaging and packaging, as well as institutions with active document flow.
However, if we are talking about recycling householdwaste, in this case things are somewhat more complicated. Since the population is involved here, it is possible to organize the corresponding waste collection points, to conclude special agreements with management companies. This may require special containers into which separate collection of waste will be carried out.
Another option for household waste -organization of sites for their reception and storage. Such items should be located in residential areas, so that it would be beneficial for the population to hand over rubbish for a small fee, and not throw it into the tank. This point should be equipped with weights.
Recycling as a business has certain advantages and disadvantages.
So, the benefits include:
However, as with any production, there are a number of drawbacks, among which it is necessary to single out the main ones:
Despite all the above disadvantages, whichin the end, only difficulties are presented; this type of business deserves the attention of the business sector, as it can benefit not only the business entity, but also the environment and people. Therefore, business entities, when expressing a desire to engage in waste recycling, should be encouraged by government agencies.
