Economic, Institutional and Policy Aspects

Recycling is the process of gathering and processing items that would otherwise be discarded as waste and transforming them into new products. Individuals can easily help the environment and the economy by recycling. Recycling also helps the environment by conserving resources. Reduced trash transferred to landfills and combustion facilities; conservation of natural resources such as lumber, water, and minerals; and pollution prevention by minimising the need to obtain fresh raw materials are only a few of the environmental benefits. Increased economic security by leveraging a domestic source of materials is one of the economic and society benefits. Recycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution while also saving electricity. Using recycled materials reduces the amount of solid waste produced. Recycling helps to lessen pollution generated by virgin material extraction and processing.
