Recycling

Recycling is the process of collecting, processing, and transforming materials that would otherwise be discarded as waste into new products. This practice is aimed at reducing the consumption of raw materials, conserving energy, minimizing environmental impact, and decreasing pollution. Commonly recycled materials include paper, cardboard, glass, metals, and certain plastics. The recycling process typically involves several steps: collection and sorting of recyclable materials, processing to separate and purify the materials, and manufacturing new products using the recycled materials. By recycling, resources can be reused, which helps to conserve natural resources and reduce landfill usage, thus playing a significant role in waste management and environmental sustainability.
