Part one: Reading (15


points)
A/ Comprehension (07
points)
Read the text carefully then do the following activities
Algeria produces 16 million tons of waste per year. As many countries in Africa, it is still using
plastic wrapping and bags in supermarkets. Five million plastic bags are used and only five percent of the
waste is recycled. Recycling means turning the materials from waste into something new. Glass, paper,
plastic, and metals such as aluminum and steel are all commonly recycled.
The waste business is new in Algeria, there are only 200 companies which take care of trash,
and they face many challenges including a lack of recycling machines which have to be imported from
other countries, and a lack of government support and regulations that help reduce recycling costs.

One of these companies is Plasticycle, launched by Besma Belbedjaoui in 2011 in


Constantine. Besma collects and sorts out plastic waste, then grinds it in her factory. The waste is then
washed, dried, and turned into granules. Once this is done, she sells them to companies that use them
to manufacture textiles and wrapping.
