Classification of waste
Used towels are wasteand dry.
Dry waste refers to other waste, which refers to other household waste, except recyclable materials, hazardous waste and wet waste.
Specific standards for classification of domestic waste can be adjusted depending on the level of economic and social development, the characteristics of domestic waste and the needs for disposal and use. Other wastes are less harmful but have no reuse value, such as construction waste, domestic waste, etc., which usually adopt methods such as landfill, incineration and sanitary decomposition. Some of them can also be resolved by biological means, such as release. earthworms. It is a kind of waste from recyclable waste, wet waste and hazardous waste.

Waste classification
The soWater lubility of paper towels is high, so the recycling cost is high. In fact, almost all non-recyclable waste is "recyclable", but since the value of the products produced after recycling is not as high as the cost of recycling, there is no point in recycling.
In fact, many toilet paper materials now contain raw materials such as cotton pulp and wood pulp. Due to market demand, regular toilet paper dissolves when exposed to water and cannot be recycled normally. Except that in general, the waste toilet paper produced has been used, that is to say it has been contaminated, so it cannot be considered recyclable waste. Similar words include napkins, kitchen paper, etc.
In summary, even paper is divided into two types: “recyclable” and “non-recyclable”. Because whatever the type of wastet which it is, it is necessary to evaluate on the basis of a scenario whether it can be recycled. For example, when paper is contaminated, covered with oil stains or even penetrated, the paper cannot be recycled normally and must be thrown into the "other waste" bin.
Common sense dictates that all paper should be recyclable. However, when classifying and recycling various types of household waste, we must take into account the stages, technology and cost of the treatment process. For contaminated toilet paper, napkins, toilet paper and other types of paper, because they are too dirty and the treatment cost is too high, they can only be disposed of by landfill or incineration.

2. What kind of waste do disposable paper cups used for drinking tea belong toRecyclable waste?
The general raw materials of paper cups are: food grade wood pulp paper + food grade PE film.

Cold drinks have a special feature and must be frozen or refrigerated. The safe use temperature is 0℃-5℃. It is determined that the entire paper cup is leak-proof.
