Recycling Rate

The recycling rate is the percentage of waste materials that are collected and processed for reuse instead of being sent to landfills or incinerators. It reflects how effectively a community or country manages its waste by recycling valuable materials like paper, glass, and metals. A higher recycling rate indicates better environmental practices and resource management, helping to conserve natural resources and reduce pollution. Tracking this rate can motivate improvements in recycling programs and raise public awareness about sustainable waste management.
