![What is 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.[1][2]Recycling is a key component of
modern waste reduction and is the third component of
the "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle“ waste
Process of recovering and converting waste into reusable

Recycling is a process that converts waste materials into reusable materials in order to reduce waste, decrease consumption of raw materials, lower energy usage and emissions. It involves sorting recyclables like plastic, cardboard, cans, glass, paper and metal at home before delivering them to a local collection station. The waste is then processed at a recycling plant where materials are recovered and converted back into usable items. Recycling helps preserve the environment for future generations by reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills.
