recycling technologies

Recycling technologies involve processes that convert waste materials into new products, reducing landfill and conserving resources. Common methods include mechanical recycling, where materials like plastics and metals are cleaned, shredded, melted, or reformulated for reuse. Chemical recycling breaks down plastics into their chemical building blocks, enabling the creation of new plastics with similar quality. Automotive and electronic waste are often dismantled to recover valuable metals. Advancements in recycling technology aim to increase efficiency and quality, making it easier to reuse materials rather than discard them, ultimately supporting sustainability and environmental protection.
