What is Recycling
 Recycling is a process in which waste
materials are treated in a way that they can
be used again
 Recyclable materials including many kinds
glass,paper,metal,plastic and electronics
Process of Recycling :
Collection
 The first step required for recycling is collecting
recyclable materials from communities
 Putting the items in recycling collection bins, they
usually have recycling symbol
Processing :
The second step includes sorting
the material into groups and clean
them and getting them ready to be
sold to manufacturers
Manufacturing :
 Manufacturing is the third step in the recycling
process. Many items you see every day are recycled .
Newspapers, paper towels, office paper, plastic bottles
and aluminum cans
Benefits of Recycling
Resource conservation :
 Last year, Americans recycled enough
aluminum cans to conserve the energy
equivalent to more than 15 million barrels of
oil.
1 million tons of steel
recycled saves…
 1.3 million tons of iron ore
 718,000 tons of coal
 62,000 tons of limestone.
Recycling Saves Energy :
 Recycling aluminium saves 95% of the
energy cost of processing new aluminium.
 Recycling plastic saves 70% of the energy
used in creating new plastic
 paper recycling saves 40% of the energy
required to make a new product.
Recycling Creates Jobs
10,000 tons of waste :
Incinerated, creates 1 job
Landfilled, creates 6 jobs
Recycled, creates 36 jobs
