Recycling

Recycling prevents the emissions of many greenhouse gases and water pollutants and saves energy. Using recovered material generates less solid waste. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by the extraction and processing of virgin materials.

Not only can it help reduce your carbon footprint, but it also helps reduce the need for harvesting raw materials, saves energy, reduces greenhouse gases, prevents pollution, and more. By improving our recycling habits, we can help keep the environment clean and preserve our natural resources.

These are three types of recycling:

• Mechanical Recycling. One of the most globally used methods of giving residues new usages is mechanic recycling. This method is used to recycle plastics, either obtained from industrial scrap, domestic, or commercial disposals.
• Energy Recycling. The method used to convert plastics into both thermal and electric energy is called energy recycling. This process is done by leveraging, through incineration and the heat is released in the form of fuel.
• Chemical Recycling. Among all types of recycling, chemical recycling is the most complex method. In this process, the chemical structures of plastics are modified after reprocessing them.

Type of Material That can be recycled

• Waste Paper and Cardboard.
• Plastic Recycling
• Metal Recycling
• WEEE Recycling (Electronic Devices)
• Wood Recycling
• Glass Recycling
• Clothing and Textile
• Bricks and Inert Waste Recycling.

• Plastic: Once or twice. When it is recycled, the quality of the plastic decreases.
• Aluminum: Infinite. Your soda cans can be recycled an unlimited number of times.
• Other Metals: Infinite. Metals are categorized into ferrous and non-ferrous metals
