From overflowing garbage to garbage pollution, a major problem that many people still overlook

Waste pollution is various items left over due to deterioration to the point where they can no longer be used, or items that are no longer needed. When discarded, there is improper disposal that results in harm to nature, humans, and other living things. Each type of waste requires a different method of disposal or recycling. For example, RHINOSHIELD's phone cases use a single material product, making it easy to separate the Magsafe for recycling in order to help reduce waste pollution.

RHINOSHIELD believes that many people may not know that the problem of the continuously increasing amount of garbage that has become garbage pollution has an impact in many ways more than you think, especially on human health and the environment. We may not even know that we are being affected by this problem. Let's see what are the impacts of garbage pollution?

It is a breeding ground for insects and germs.

Garbage that is fermented and not disposed of properly becomes a habitat for insects and animals that come to eat food or waste in the garbage pile, such as rats, flies, fruit flies, worms, etc. These animals are all carriers of disease, which can make people living near that area sick.

Causing environmental pollution

It can be said that garbage is a major cause of environmental pollution. For example, if there are batteries left in the garbage pile, it will cause heavy metals. Moreover, if the garbage pile is near a water source, these heavy metals will be dispersed into rivers and canals when it rains. The soil in that area will also be contaminated. Burning garbage will have a negative effect on the air quality in that area and cause air pollution, both bad smells and toxins floating in the air.

Causing annoyance

In addition to the health impacts that garbage brings, which is a source of various germs and toxins that permeate everywhere, garbage also creates a nuisance to those who see it, including those who live near the area where garbage is dumped, who will be affected by the nuisance greatly.

Another important cause of waste pollution is solid waste, which is waste that comes from leftovers or products that have been used up, both from the production process and consumption. It can be either solid or waste, causing negative effects on health, the environment, and various animals.

Solid waste that leads to waste pollution usually comes from 4 main sources as follows:

1. Residences such as houses and condos

2. Commercial establishments such as fresh markets, flea markets, department stores

3. Community areas such as government offices, hospitals, religious buildings and schools

4. Construction sites and industrial plants

Let's see how many types of waste there are so that we can know and apply them to separate and dispose of waste correctly to preserve the environment and prevent more waste pollution. Waste can be divided into 3 types as follows:

1. Wet waste

It is waste with a moisture content of more than 50%, so it is not flammable. Most of it is food scraps, meat scraps, vegetable scraps, and fruit scraps, which usually come from houses, restaurants, or fresh markets. This type of waste often produces a foul smell from decomposition. It is also a habitat for disease-carrying animals such as rats, cockroaches, and flies, etc.

2. Dry waste

It is waste that comes from leftovers that have little moisture and do not cause bad smells. Most of them are glass, cloth, scraps of paper, metal, wood, iron, plastic, especially phone cases that most people use and can easily discard. Therefore, dry waste is the most discarded waste, which can be further divided into many types, such as combustible and non-combustible, recyclable and non-recyclable. Therefore, it is necessary to separate the types before disposal.

3. Hazardous waste

It is waste that contains hazardous substances, such as batteries, light bulbs, or various corrosive chemicals or that can easily explode. Therefore, special care must be taken in managing and disposing of this type of waste.

RHINOSHIELD cares about the environment and is aware of the problem of plastic waste from mobile phone cases, as they cannot be completely recycled. Therefore, RHINOSHIELD has created a circular ecosystem based on the 3R principle to make our phone cases as environmentally friendly as possible. The 3R principle is as follows:

As I have always said, RHINOSHIELD sees the problem of the world's excessive waste, which has become waste pollution. Therefore, we would like to invite everyone to be aware of this problem. We can easily start with ourselves, whether it's separating waste or throwing it away in the right place, including using RHINOSHIELD's environmentally friendly case, CircularNext model, which is made from recycling old cases and can be recycled 100% up to 6 times because it is made from a single piece of material. It comes with other features that make you want to choose it, such as:

Waste pollution is another major problem in the world, but people may overlook it and think that it is not a big problem, especially plastic waste or plastic glass waste from our daily consumption. We can all help with waste pollution. Effective and sustainable solutions include raising awareness, throwing away waste properly, and separating waste properly. RHINOSHIELD sees the problem and wants to be a part of reducing waste with the CircularNext case, made from recycled old phone cases that are 100% recyclable.
