Recycling
Recycling is a process to convert
waste materials into reusable material to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce
energy usage, reduce air pollution (from
incineration) and water pollution (from
landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal and lower
greenhouse gas emissions as compared to plastic production. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce,
Reuse and Recycle"
waste hierarchy.
