2. Recycling is the process of collecting
and processing materials that would
otherwise be thrown away as trash
and turning them into new products.

3. Recyclable
materials include
many kinds of
glass, paper,
metal, plastic,
textiles, and
electronics. The
composting or
other reuse of
biodegradable
waste—such as
food or garden
waste—is also
considered
recycling.

4. Recycling can benefit our communities and the
environment
Recycling:
Reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators
Conserves natural resources
Prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw
materials

change
Helps sustain the environment for future generations
Helps create new jobs in the recycling and manufacturing industries

Recycling includes three steps
which create a continuous loop,
represented by the recycling
symbol.
Step 1: Collection and Processing
Step 2: Manufacturing
Step 3: Purchasing New Products
Made from Recycled Material

products are being
manufactured with
