Lahore College For Women University: Department of Architecture

The document summarizes a presentation about recycling building materials for sustainable design. It defines recycling as reducing, reusing, and recycling materials. It provides examples of how recycling saves resources, like recycling 1 million tons of steel saves over 1 million tons of iron ore and other materials. The benefits of recycling are that it reduces pollution by limiting extraction and transport of new materials, conserves landfill space, saves energy in production over using new materials, and provides economic opportunities in recycling industries.
