What is recycling?

Recycling is a process to obtain new raw materials from waste or used as objects.

What about the rubbish we throw away? The rubbish we throw away follows a process from the

container to be recycled.

Source: either domestic or industrial.Recovery: it is the collection and transportation of waste to the transfer plants.Transfer plants: mixed waste for transport over a lower cost.Separation plant: it is the place where waste is sorted & separated.Recycler final where the waste is recycled, stored in landfills or used for energy production.

To separate the rubbish, we use these containers:

Yellow container: cans.Blue container: papers and cardboards.Green container: glasses.Brown container: organics (deposited objects can not be deposited in the other containers).

The 3 "R"

Reduce: reducing the production of items.Reuse: re-using a product to give a second life. Recycle: collect the waste to transform into other objects and reuse.

What are the advantages of recycling?

Recycling has three main advantages:

-Reduce the volume of waste & pollution that causes waste.-Preserving natural resources ( if you recycle materials, they will be reused & you won't consume a lot of natural resources) because the recycled material is reused.-Reduce the cost of production of new goods.
