Recycling

Recycling is the process of collecting, processing, and reusing materials that would otherwise be discarded as waste. It involves converting waste products into new materials or products, thereby reducing the consumption of fresh raw materials, conserving energy, decreasing pollution, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. The recycling process typically includes several steps: collection and sorting of recyclable materials, processing them into usable raw materials, and manufacturing new products from these materials. Commonly recycled items include paper, glass, metals, plastics, and electronics. The aim of recycling is to create a sustainable practice that minimizes environmental impact and promotes responsible resource management.
