Recycling Techniques

Recycling techniques involve processes to convert used materials into new products, reducing waste and conserving resources. Common methods include mechanical recycling, where materials like plastics and metals are physically processed (shredded, melted, and reshaped), and chemical recycling, which breaks down materials at a molecular level to create new raw materials. There's also composting for organic waste, turning it into nutrient-rich soil. Each technique aims to minimize landfill use and environmental impact, promoting a circular economy where materials are reused rather than discarded. Understanding these methods helps support sustainable practices and responsible consumption.
