Why recycling is important for our environment?
Recycling helps us to reduce the carbon footprint. It also helps reduce the need for virgin raw
materials and saves energy, reduces greenhouse gases, prevents pollution, and more. By
improving our recycling habits, we can keep the environment clean and preserve our natural
resources.
Its our prime responsibility to preserve our planet earth for our coming generations. We all
know that the modern world we live in, recycling is very crucial. Creating new items from the
used and scrap items is a healthier step towards the mission of saving our environment.
Recycling can be done from anywhere. You can recycle any of your used/ old items for some
new purpose by reusing it rather than tossing them away. But when we think about the larger
perspective, we need to go for the most efficient and effective method. Planet Green
Recycling offers a complete solution in the areas of recycling and segregated waste
management.
Reducing, reusing, and recycling should all be considered while thinking about recycling. It's
time to alter not only the way we do things but also the way we think because up until this
point we have been irresponsible with how we handle the Earth. The goods and materials that
can be utilised after serving their initial purpose - whether they are made of paper, plastic,
metal or glass - are by no means insignificant. Majority of the materials we use in our daily
life are recyclable. According to estimates, more than 70% of all waste materials are reused
or recycled ensuring that the process is done correctly using different recycling processes. At
Planet Green Recycling, we take care of fabric and textile waste, e-waste, glass waste, metal
waste, paper, plastics, pressurized cans, expired/ damaged beauty care products, personal
care products, cosmetics, obsolete and end of life products that cant be sold etc. for
recycling.
The types of recycling you should know about…
The truth is mostly non-separated waste will typically end up in landfills and we all know it
makes the situation worse. These are large, waste-filled places that take hundreds of years to

disintegrate. And some of this trash, like certain plastics, won't ever go away. We are all on a
mission to save the earth. But this laziness to separate the waste for recycling will only slow
down or mostly pull back all of us from our mission. There is no excuse not to separate your
waste, regardless of where you reside in the globe. Imagine, how hard it is to separate plastic
bottles and cardboard and then place it in separate bins. If we all do that it would be a great
initiative for healthier recycling. Let’s learn the types of recycling…
1. E-Waste Recycling:
Electronic/ Electrical waste is commonly called e-waste. It is the waste produced by
damaged, excessively used and outdated electronic/ electrical equipments. E-waste is
also known as e-scraps as well. These electronic/ electrical items include dangerous
substances and harmfulcompounds. Additionally, improper disposal of these
equipments may result in the release of harmful materials into the environment. The
processing and reuse of these electronic wastes are subsequently referred to as E-
Waste Recycling. It is a method used to try to salvage materials from electronic waste.
In modern electronic items, you can use them in this manner.
Let’s take the example of e-waste recycling done by Planet Green Recycling where
they do efficient recycling in Dubai. They gather all forms of electronic waste (E-
waste) from their customers and transfer it to their facility. There the items will be
segregated into reusable or recyclable. Reusable items will be reused after
refurbishing. Non usable items gets disassembled, processed, and are divided based on
the category like metal parts, printed circuit boards, electronic components,
electrical parts, plastic, glass, etc., and sent to remanufacturing facilities where they
are used as raw materials for making new items.
2. Plastic Waste Recycling:
Plastic items plays a major role in our day to day lives. Be it a toothbrush, water
bottle, plastic containers used to store handwash, shower gel, shampoo etc., it’s a
human nature to dispose these items after the usage is over. If not taken care, these
items may get dumped into landfill where it takes years for these plastics to degrade
back into the environment. The abundance of plastic in our environment has both
advantages and disadvantages. Plastic may be a part of trash and environmental
contamination. These effects might put the environment and people in danger.
Additionally, if plastic is not used properly, it might be a waste of resources to create
new ones. Plastic recycling is important because it is having a hugely negative effect
on our environment.

Plastic waste management involves collecting all sorts of plastic materials and gets
segregated based on the category like PET, LDP, HDP, ABS, PVC, PP etc. These plastic
materials will then get converted into granules/ flakes/ pellets and gets exported/
transported to plastic manufacturing facilities where these will be used as raw
materials for manufacturing new plastic items of similar nature.
3. Fabric and Textile waste recycling
We are aware about the importance of clothing and other items like shoes,
wallets, belts, purses, backpacks, soft toys, hats etc. in our everyday lives. If
not processed properly after usage, these items pollute our environment. Same
like plastics, these materials also take several years to degrade if they are
thrown in landfills. Additionally, they discharge poisonous gases like methane
and carbon dioxide into the sky as well as the soil and groundwater around
them.
Recycling textiles and fabric is becoming increasingly important. because it has
a positive impact on the environment since it reduces the need for landfill
space, uses virgin fibres, uses less energy and water, prevents pollution, and
reduces the need for dyes. Increased textile waste recovery is an aim of Planet
Green Recycling, which also seeks to create new markets, products, and
applications for goods made from pre- and post-consumer textile waste.
4. Pressurized cans recycling
In homes and workplaces, pressurized cans or aerosol cans are utilised for
various purposes. Deodorants, disinfectants, pesticides, pain relievers,
perfumes etc. are some of the items which we use mostly in our day today
lives. Once these are empty, most of the users throw them into the bins where
it gets dumped into landfill. These cans contain pressurised air that might be
potentially dangerous and could explode when crushed. There's a proper way to
handle these cans when they are empty or have served their purpose. As these
cans are made of steel or aluminium, these can be recycled in the same way as
other metals recycled and can be used to make new metal goods.
The teams at Planet Green Recycling are aware about the process that need to
be followed for proper recycling of these cans and can assist you. If you have a
sizable quantity of pressurized cans or aerosol cans that needs to be disposed
and recycled, please contact us for proper disposal and recycling of these cans.

5. Metal scrap recycling
Metal scrap recycling is the process of removing recyclable metal components
from buildings and end-of-life items so they may be processed and
reintroduced as raw materials for the creation of new products. Metals are
employed in both industrial and home settings. These metals will eventually be
categorised as scrap metal. The advantage of metal is that it can be recycled
again without losing any of its original qualities. By recycling metals, we can
protect our environment, and cut down on carbon dioxide emissions.
Metal scrap collected by Planet Green Recycling, will be taken to their facility
where the same will be segregated depending on their type and grade. Metals
segregated like this will then be delivered to manufacturing units where they
melt these and process to make new items.
6. Glass waste recycling
Glass waste includes items like bottles, jars, glasses, etc. Glass jars and bottles
are 100% recyclable and may be recycled indefinitely without losing any of
their quality or purity. Glass recycling has positive environmental, financial,
and social effects. These benefits include preserving priceless natural resources
and industrial raw materials. Producing goods from recycled materials reduces
pollution of the air and water compared to producing goods from virgin
resources. Air pollution and global warming are decreased by using less energy.
You can connect with Planet Green Recycling to gather all sorts of tableware
glass and bottles. Planet Green will transport the collected glass debris to the
plant, where it is segregated based on the colour (clear, green, amber etc.).
After segregating the glass, it will be processed at glass manufacturing facility
where it will be cleaned, crushed, remelted, and utilised to create new glass
products.
Right now, Planet Green Recycling offers solution for tableware glass and
household glass items only. We don’t have the facility to process construction
glass waste and heat resistant glass items.
7. Paper and cardboard recycling
Why should we throw recyclable paper waste in the trash? Wastepaper is the
most important raw material for the paper industry since more and more paper

is being recycled. Paper recycling has various benefits for both people and the
environment since it saves energy, water, and landfill space. Recycling used
paper also reduces carbon dioxide emissions and offers an affordable supply for
making new paper products.
When it comes to cardboard, which may be recycled several times, the same
rules apply. Boxes, plates, fiberboard, and paperboard, among other types of
cardboard, may all be recycled. A pizza box, for example, that has been
contaminated with grease or oil cannot be recycled. Wet cardboard is also not
encouraged for recycling. As part of UAE waste management, Planet Green
takes initiatives to properly recycle Paper and cardboard wastes. You can
connect with Planet Green for its expertise in proper waste management
recycling.
8. Personal care products and Cosmetics Recycling
Cosmetics and personal care items play a significant part in our everyday lives.
According to reports, consumers in the UAE spend more than those in any other
nation in the Middle East on cosmetics and personal care products. Expired and
damaged personal care items and other cosmetics that cannot be used are
collected in large quantities by Planet Green Recycling and these items will be
processed and destructed in the right way. The recyclable items like paper,
plastic, glass and metal items will get recycled.
Benefits of recycling
Recycling is important for a variety of reasons. In addition to lowering the carbon
footprint, it may also conserve energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, avoid
pollution, and lessen the need to gather raw materials. By improving our recycling
procedures, we can help keep the environment clean and conserve our natural
resources.
The advantages of recycling and how it may improve the environment are
listed below.
➔ Protects wildlife and ecosystems
Recycling helps the environment be less disturbed. Animal damage is avoided
when we clear fewer trees and forests. We contribute to the preservation of

ecosystems and species by minimising interruption and damage to the natural
environment.
➔ Protection of Natural Resources
Recycling helps preserve some of the natural resources that are becoming
scarce around the globe. Paper recycling helps preserve forests and plants.
Plastic may take hundreds of years to decompose and requires a lot of solid
waste when it is recycled. Additionally, the majority of plastic is made from
hydrocarbons found in fossil fuels. Metal recycling decreases the need to mine
new metal ores, while glass recycling decreases our demand for some raw
resources, such as sand.
➔ Conserves energy
Using recycled materials rather than new, raw materials helps reduce energy
consumption during manufacture. Making things using recycled materials
instead of virgin materials requires a lot less energy. For instance, recycling
glass bottles can result in energy savings that are sufficient to power a 100-
watt lamp for four hours.
➔ Lessens the requirement for mining new materials
Recycling lessens the requirement for raw material harvesting. Our increasing
demand for these fundamental necessities has led to the displacement of
residents who once lived close to rivers or wooded areas. Recycling lessens the
likelihood of causing harm to someone else's property or neighbourhood.
➔ Cuts down carbon emissions
Recycling requires less energy, reducing our carbon footprint and emissions. We
can lessen the amount of garbage from landfills that release methane, which
contributes to climate change, by reducing our carbon footprint.
➔ Reduces costs
Recycling trash is far less expensive than standard garbage collection and
disposal. More money may be saved by recycling more. Returns on deposits
might assist provide additional financial motivation to recycle.

Recycling may contribute to environmental protection and resource
conservation. Recycling is essential, as is reducing the quantity of trash we
release into the environment. By doing this, we can conserve energy, lessen
landfill waste, and safeguard the environment.
Let’s make our planet greener and better than ever…
If we start to see the waste produced by this level of consumption in a different way,
even if we live in a consumer-driven world with a growing thirst for new goods, we
might be able to transform our issue into an opportunity for a better life. Planet
Green Recycling started its operations in Dubai with this commitment to save our
society from waste accumulation originating from multiple sources.
So let's work together to make our planet more sustainable and a safer place to live
happily. By disposing recyclables thoughtfully, you already help to make the world
more environmentally friendly. By recycling, you also help to protect raw materials,
use less energy, reduce landfills, and prevent toxic materials from leaching into the
ground. Let’s together work for a better world!
