Recycling processes used materials (waste) into new products to reduce waste, consumption of raw materials, energy usage, and pollution. Common recyclable items include glass, paper, electronics, plastic, metal, and textiles. Easy ways to recycle include using recycled paper, making recycling bins readily available, and recycling items like ink cartridges, batteries, and rewritable discs to reuse them. Recycling facts note that up to 60% of rubbish could be recycled, unreleased energy in rubbish could power a TV for years, and the UK's rubbish could fill its largest lake in months if not recycled.

2. General Information
• Recycling is processing used materials(waste)
into new products 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
virgin production.

3. Recycling products
• Glass
• Paper
• Electronics
• Plastic

5. Some interesting facts
• Up to 60% of the rubbish that ends up in the dustbin could be
recycled.
• The unreleased energy contained in the average dustbin each year
could power a television for 5,000 hours.
• The largest lake in the Britain could be filled with rubbish from the
UK in 8 months.
• On average, 16% of the money you spend on a product pays for
the packaging, which ultimately ends up as rubbish.
• As much as 50% of waste in the average dustbin could be
composted.
• Up to 80% of a vehicle can be recycled.
• 9 out of 10 people would recycle more if it were made easier.
