Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash and turning them into new products.
Here’s a simple breakdown:
Instead of throwing things away: You separate and collect recyclable materials like paper, plastic, glass, and metal.
These materials are then processed: They are cleaned, sorted, and often broken down into smaller pieces.
New products are created: The processed materials are used to make new items, such as:
Paper: Recycled into new paper products like newspapers, cardboard, and tissues.
Plastic: Turned into new bottles, containers, and even clothing.
Glass: Made into new bottles, jars, and other glass products.
Metal: Used to create new cans, appliances, and other metal objects.
Why is Recycling Important?
Reduces waste: Less trash ends up in landfills.
Conserves resources: Reduces the need to extract and process new raw materials.
Saves energy: Recycling often requires less energy than producing new materials from scratch.
Protects the environment: Reduces pollution and helps conserve natural resources like trees and minerals.
