Recycling involves collecting recyclable materials like glass, paper, metal, and plastic from communities and processing them to be used again. The recycling process includes sorting, cleaning, and preparing materials to be sold to manufacturers who use the recycled materials to make new products like paper towels, bottles, and cans. Recycling provides significant benefits like conserving natural resources and energy - it can save 95% of the energy required to make new aluminum and creates 36 jobs for every 10,000 tons of recycled waste compared to just 1 job from incineration. The U.S. recycles around 33% of its waste each year.

4.  Just in America, we produced 251 million
tons of trash in 2006
 55% gets buried in landfills, 33% gets
recycled, and 12.5% goes to incinerators
 the U.S. has one of the highest recycling
rates in the world today.

6. What is Recycling
 Recycling is a process in which waste
materials are treated in a way that they can
be used again
 Recyclable materials including many kinds
glass,paper,metal,plastic and electronics

7. Process of Recycling :
Collection
 The first step required for recycling is collecting
recyclable materials from communities
 Putting the items in recycling collection bins, they
usually have recycling symbol

8. Processing :
The second step includes sorting
the material into groups and clean
them and getting them ready to be
sold to manufacturers

9. Manufacturing :
 Manufacturing is the third step in the recycling
process. Many items you see every day are recycled .
Newspapers, paper towels, office paper, plastic bottles
and aluminum cans

10. Benefits of Recycling
Resource conservation :
 Last year, Americans recycled enough
aluminum cans to conserve the energy
equivalent to more than 15 million barrels of
oil.

11. 1 million tons of steel
recycled saves…
 1.3 million tons of iron ore
 718,000 tons of coal
 62,000 tons of limestone.

12. Recycling Saves Energy :
 Recycling aluminium saves 95% of the
energy cost of processing new aluminium.
 Recycling plastic saves 70% of the energy
used in creating new plastic
 paper recycling saves 40% of the energy
required to make a new product.

13. Recycling Creates Jobs
10,000 tons of waste :
Incinerated, creates 1 job
Landfilled, creates 6 jobs
Recycled, creates 36 jobs
