How can cotton be recycled?
401528
Cotton can be recycled through a process that boils the cotton to remove oils.  Then it is put in a chemical bath with bleach that removes all the color and impurities.  Then you can mix it with some other chemicals and you have cotton paper that can be used for nice cards and printing.

Nope, it's called recycling, and the environment says 'thank you'!\n\nPlus, pat yourself on the back for being skilled and creative enough to craft your own dress, even if it's from a previous one. Not everyone can do that. :-)

I recycle and I live in a city where 90% of the people do. We have a really good recycling collection service. The counsel gives us two bins, one for trash and one for recycling. The recyclable materials are seperated by hand at the recycling depot. Each material is sent off to their respective recycling plant.

A note on recyclability . . . \n\nFor food products in the US, recycled plastic must be depolymerized (broken down into component cheicals and no longer be a plastic), then repolymnerized to be used in food-safe applications. This is not the case if one uses recycled plastic to make fabric, or for use in non-foodsafe applications. The capital cost of the plant and energy involved in depolymerizing and repolymerizing the plastic make recycled plastic prohibitively expensive for foodsafe applications.

Copper in cables can certainly be recycled, and fetches quite a good price. You'd need to collect a reasonable weight of it though, strip off the insulation, then take it to a scrap metal dealer to have it weighed in.

This has some really neat ideas, but my favourite project is making wreaths. You bend a clothes hanger into the shape you want and tie plastics strips all around until it is nice and full. You could decorate further with recycled ribbon, flowers, etc. You might even make the flowers from laundry softeners so they smell pretty as well! The plastics strips should be about 9 - 12 inches long and about an inch or so wide. Cut them from clean bread bags, grocery or store bags, garbage or leaf bags....you just tie the plastic onto the hanger wire so you have equal ends. Push together as you go and twist now and then to add fullest.

if it's cotton wash it in hot water and put it in the dryer.

Off the top of my head, we recycle newspapers, cardboard, glass, metal, plastic, and plastic bags.\n\nThe recycle container gets bigger each week, while the trash container gets smaller.\n\nI suspect this is the way it's supposed to work.\n\nThings that don't get recycled include garbage, pizza boxes, egg cartons (fiber ones), furniture, appliances, and oil/paint/chemical containers.

That's nuclear fission - used in nuclear power stations. The waste can be recycled to a certain extent and is done at Sellafield in the UK. Decommissioning nuclear power stations is a bigger problem.

ask the children to bring in empty packaging from home as a small homework task. sort through th items brought in with the children talking about what can be recycled and why we should recycle. More importantly what recycling means. \nAllow the children to make collages using the varoius types of materials which can be recycled. \nyou could make this into a display. You could also do junk modelling with the packaging.

1.Cotton traps heat and prevents absorbing adequate moisture. \n2.Pesticides used in cotton growing destroy the soil chemical balance making it to be less beneficial in agriculture.\n3.Crop rotation and organic farming are some of  the best things to do to keep the earth usable.\n4.Crop rotation is cultivation of different crop varieties in every cropping season. Example: plant corn, after harvest plant peanut before another corn cropping.♥\n5.Crop rotation will help the soil to restore its chemical chemistry and reduce the increasing level of toxic components as the effects of pesticides used in the previous cropping.

For disposal of hazardous waste, many cities and municipalities have hazardous waste collection sites or special days set aside for collection of such items. Check with your city or county Solid Waste Dept. or Environmental Quality or Environmental Protection agency for information. If you have a computer that is still functional, consider donating it to a school or nonprofit organization in need. Also, a nonprofit computer recycling organization called Computer Recycling Center may be helpful (see sources). For ideas on how to recycle items from cell phones to used tires, or how to stay ahead of the game and REDUCE consumption of products (for example, use canvas bags instead of plastic or paper; stop junk mail), see the following sources. Did you know, for example, that 4 to 5 trillion plastic bags are manufactured each year, and that the majority of them are NOT recycled? If we reduce consumption (by using canvas bags, for example), we work toward making our earth cleaner and healthier.
