Recycled - Page 6

Recycled refers to the process of converting waste materials into new products to prevent the waste of potentially useful materials and reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials. This process typically involves collecting and processing items that would otherwise be discarded, breaking them down into their raw materials, and re-manufacturing those materials into new products. Recycling helps to conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, and decrease the amount of waste sent to landfills. Commonly recycled materials include paper, glass, metal, and certain plastics. The effectiveness of recycling depends on proper sorting, processing, and market demand for recycled materials.
