            What is recycle

• Recycling is the conversion of waste products into new materials, such as waste paper which  can be converted into new paper goods.  Recycling is a lengthy circular process which has to include transportation of collected materials to a processing facility where they are cleaned and sorted.  The new materials that have been converted must comply with the same safety legislation and health and hygiene regulations as products made from virgin materials.  We can only say a product has been recycled when it has been purchased and used again.  

            Why we should recycle?

• As what I have studies, there are many different reasons and advantages of recycling old materials to turn into new, similar products. Recycling benefits relate to many different areas, some of which could greatly improve the air we breathe, and the environment.

• Conservation :All man-made products incorporate raw materials to create the finished product. This involves harvesting the earth’s natural resources (e.g. wood, metal) in order to acquire the raw materials.Deforestation is a prime example of how harvesting natural resources is harming the environment. This could be reduced if we recycle more paper and old wooden products.

•  Energy Saving:: Recycling reduces the amount of energy needed to create a new, similar product. If we didn’t recycle paper, more trees would have to be chopped down, transported, and manufactured into the finished product.This reason why you should recycle is a very important one, as energy conservation is one of the key ingredients for the fight against climate change

•   Reduce Pollution: Tied in with energy saving, is the reduction of pollution as a result of manufacturing processes becoming more efficient.Any reduction in CO2 or other harmful gases is not only a key ingredient for the fight against climate change, but a key ingredient for cleaning the air we breathe.If we can reduce pollution levels from the manufacturing industry by a significant level, this could have a positive impact on our health.
