Recycling saves resources and saving resources saves the world. Recycling turns waste materials into new products and reduces waste to landfill.
Recycling involves processing materials so that they can be used as raw materials for another industry. They may end up in the same product (such as cardboard boxes recycled into new cardboard boxes) or they may be very different for example, steel cans and cars are re-made into scaffolding poles or reinforcing bars for strengthing concrete. An old car tyre can be made into a wallet, a mobile phone can be broken down into its several parts and made into copper piping, road cones and jewellery.
By recycling we are preventing the 'waste' of useful materials and resources as well as saving raw resources from having to be used.
