waste recycling

Waste recycling involves collecting used materials, such as paper, plastic, metal, and glass, and processing them into new products instead of throwing them away. This reduces the need to extract raw resources, conserves energy, and minimizes environmental impact. The process typically includes sorting recyclables, cleaning, melting or reprocessing, and manufacturing new items. Recycling helps decrease landfill waste, lowers pollution, and supports sustainable resource management. It’s a collaborative effort between individuals, communities, and industries to turn waste into valuable materials, contributing to a healthier planet.
