Recycling is very important because so Renewable resources such as trees can be saved.Financially, we can say that recycling can generate many jobs. The use of recycled products decreases the energy consumption.It can save large amounts of nonrenewable natural resources when production processes using recycled materials.It saves energy and raw materials. It reduces the amount of waste to be treated by traditional methods (collector and incineration).By recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees. If the glass is recycled saves 40% energy and for each ton recycled saves 1.2 tonnes of raw materials.Recycling, thus saving energy and reducing pollution.
One of the great things about recycling is the process that helps minimize residues in our communities. Because items such as glass, paper and different types of plastics are reused to create new products that do not end up taking up space in a landfill.As most people are not interested in having a landfill located near their homes or offices, recycling avoids the creation of new landfills and larger than would otherwise be needed to accommodate all waste.While many people realize that recycling is good for the environment in terms of alleviating the demand for our limited resources, should also realize that the decision to reuse and recycle some items also helps reduce the cost of producing products significantly.
