Recycling

Recycling is the process of collecting, processing, and reusing materials that would otherwise be discarded as waste. This practice involves converting waste materials into new products, thereby reducing the consumption of fresh raw materials, minimizing energy usage, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling helps to conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, and contribute to the sustainability of the environment. Commonly recycled materials include paper, cardboard, glass, metals, and certain plastics. The recycling process typically includes collection, sorting, cleaning, and manufacturing into new products. By encouraging the reuse of materials, recycling plays a crucial role in waste management and environmental conservation efforts.
