Recycling or reuse personal storage or burning

[hug]

Recycling is +/- profitable depending on the materials. I do not have an encrypted element, but it seems intuitive to me, (maybe I am wrong), but I find it curious that we spend a lot of energy to recycle a basic material.

For example, recycling a TV is essential, glass can be recycled endlessly. These are rich or noble materials, in the sense of the possibility of recycling.
But I ask myself the question of knowing, for poorer materials if it is more profitable (ecologically)
* to recycle them, which requires transport, sorting, treatment
* or to reuse locally, or even stupidly to store them locally (is paper at the bottom of the garden so inconvenient?), or to burn them in the fireplace?

Do you have elements according to the type of material and the local possibilities (presence of a garden, a fireplace ...)?

Yes I asked myself too.
I wanted to explore the possibility of making your own pellets (pellets) from all the old paper and newspapers that invade my mailbox.

The idea is to see how to make a die that will crush paper, cardboard ... and compress them enough to extract moisture and give them cohesion.
The raw material is free, delivery included.
You just have to transform and store it.

Then acquire a stove or a pellet boiler (from 1500 to 2000 € incl. Tax excluding subsidies for a stove).

If the expenditure on recycling is "only" energy, this can be quite interesting (but depends a lot on the type of energy used ...) if it avoids the consumption of other resources (water, raw materials) and an emission of chemical pollutants ...

This is why LCA is very interesting because it allows us to go beyond simple intuition.
