Why is it important to recycle?

Recycling saves energy, thus reducing acid rain, global warming and air pollution.
Recycling paper uses 60 percent less energy than manufacturing paper from virgin timber.
Recycling a glass jar saves enough energy to light bulb for four hours.
Recycling conserves valuable natural resources.
Recycling metals minimizes the need for mining new minerals and decreases damage to wilderness.
Recycling cuts down on landfill.

 

Five important reasons why we should recycle

Saves Natural Resources
By making products from recycled materials instead of virgin materials, we conserve land and reduce the need to drill for oil and dig for minerals.
Saves Energy
It usually takes less energy to make recycled products; recycled aluminium, for example, takes 95% less energy than new aluminium from bauxite ore.
Saves Clean Air and Water
In most cases, making products from recycled materials creates less air pollution and water pollution than making products from virgin materials.
Saves landfill space
When the materials that you recycle go into new products, they don't go into landfills or incinerators, so landfill space is conserved.
Saves Money and Creates Jobs
The recycling process creates far more jobs than landfills or incinerators, and recycling can frequently be the least expensive waste management method for cities and towns.

 

Recycling contributes to a better environment

Using secondary materials involves substantial energy savings when compared with primary production.

Steel

Secondary production is less polluting than primary production.

Producing from recycled paper means 35% less water pollution and 74% less air pollution.
