edward81 Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Recycling involves processing used materials into new products in order to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.Recycling is a key component of modern waste management and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy.

insane_alien Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 i think you are perhaps missing the point of a discussion forum. is there a question like your title indicates?
Phi for All Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Copy/pasting the work of others without giving them credit is plagiarism. This is a verbal warning. Don't do this again or you will be given an infraction with points that will lead to a temporary ban. And as insane_alien says, we come here to discuss science. Your opening post is an explanation with no questions posed that might stimulate a discussion.

rahinajoseph Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Hi.. Recycling is the process of turning used products into raw materials that can be used to make new products. Its purpose is to conserve natural resources and reduce pollution. Recycling reduces energy consumption, since it generally takes less energy to recycle a product than to make a new one. Similarly, recycling causes less pollution than manufacturing a new product, and conserves raw materials. It also decreases the amount of waste sent to landfills or incinerators. Although people have always reused things, recycling as we know it today emerged as part of the modern environmental movement. solar LED light Edited July 22, 2010 by rahinajoseph
