Did you ever come across few astonishing facts about waste management such as: 1) The chips packet that you dumped in your dry waste bin may have to travel more that 800 km to get recycled or rather incinerated in a cement furnace kiln!!  OR 2) Many of the cosmetic helpers serve around you hold graduation degree and sometimes masters too!! OR 3) The Glass which is claimed as recyclable infinitely, a few types of it like in tube lights and bulbs, does not get recycled even once due to lack of specific recycling facility set up and end up in landfills!!
