The Importance of Recycling
The amount of rubbish we create is constantly increasing as the population is increasing and people are buying more plastics to meet new lifestyle changes and ultimately creating more waste. In order to minimize the huge negative impact on the natural environment it is crucial that persons try their best to recycle plastics.
What is Recycling ?
According to Wikipedia, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling), Recycling is defined as "Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into reusable objects to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, energy usage, air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by decreasing the need for “conventional” waste disposal and lowering greenhouse gas emissions 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. ”
What are the benefits of Recycling?
By recycling plastics there are many environmental and economic benefits. Environmental benefits include less pollutants released into the air and water which results in less harm done to both human and animal lives. Litter overflow is also kept to a minimum which helps in maintaining the beauty of the environment. It also greatly reduces the amount of energy used as new materials do not need to be produced. In terms of economic benefits, a functional and efficient recycling system costs the government less money than waste programs. The recycling industry also creates thousands of job opportunities as for every one job created in waste management, four jobs are available for the recycling industry.
