Recycle

Recycling is the reprocessing of materials into new products

Recyclable materials, also called "recyclables" or "recyclates"

you can recycle glass, paper, aluminium, asphalt, iron, textiles and plastics.

This sorting can be performed either by the producer of the waste or within semi- or fully-automated materials recovery facilities.

Recyclates are sorted and separated into material types

The term recycling does not generally include reuse, in which existing items are used for a new pupose.

Recycling is beneficial in two ways

it reduces the inputs (energy and raw materials) to a production system

reduces the amount of waste produced for disposal

The resources being processed are purer, less energy is needed to process them and less energy is needed to transport from the place of extraction

This reduces the environmental, social, and usually the economic costs of manufacturing.
