WHAT IS RECYCLING?
RECYCLING IS PROCESSING
USED MATERIALS (WASTE)
INTO NEW PRODUCTS TO
PREVENT WASTE OF
POTENTIALLY USEFUL
MATERIALS.
• REDUCE THE
CONSUMPTION OF FRESH
RAW MATERIALS
• REDUCE ENERGY USAGE
•REDUCE AIR POLLUTION
AND WATER POLLUTION
WHY IS RECYCLING
IMPORTANT?
Recycling Saves Energy

When new products are


manufactured from the raw
material obtained from
recycled products, it saves a
lot of energy which is
consumed for production.
Recycling Saves
Environmental Conditions
and Reduces Pollution
Recycling helps in
preventing global climate
change to a great extent.

By minimizing the energy


spent on industrial
production, recycling also
helps in reducing
greenhouse gas emission
Recycling Saves Natural Resources
We know that recycling
involves the processing
and usage of core
elements of an old
product for the
production of new
products.

This helps in saving our


natural resources to a
great extent.
Economic Benefits of Recycling

Similar to energy
and natural
resources, recycling
also helps in saving a
lot of expense,
required for the
production of new
products
Recycling Saves Space for Waste Disposal

Recycling
enables proper
usage of
materials non-
biodegradable
What can be Recycled?

•Glass

•Paper

•Aluminum

•Plastic
