Definition of fruit Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects. It is an alternative to "conventional" waste disposal that can save material and help lower greenhouse gas emissions (compared to plastic production, for example). Recycling can prevent the waste of potentially useful materials and reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, thereby reducing: energy usage, air pollution (from incineration ), and water pollution (from landfilling ). 4/16/2017 4
What is Recycling? Recycling involves: Separating materials Collecting them Processing the materials Remanufacturing those materials into new products Buying those new products Using those new products
Recyclable materials Recyclable materials: t he following materials can all be placed in the mixed recycling containers: Glass, paper, and metal, tires , textiles, and electronics. Aluminium foil & trays. Cardboard. Food & drinks cans. Food & beverage cartons ( tetrapak type containers) Plastic bottles, tubs and trays. 4/16/2017 6

Benefits of Recycling Reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and combustion facilities. Conserves natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals. Prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw materials. Saves energy. Reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change. 4/16/2017 8
Environmental Importance Recycling is very important as waste has a huge negative impact on the natural environment. Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from rubbish in landfill sites. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste. Habitat destruction and global warming are some the affects caused by deforestation. Recycling reduces the need for raw materials so that the rainforests can be preserved. Huge amounts of energy are used when making products from raw materials. Recycling requires much less energy and therefore helps to preserve natural resources. 4/16/2017 9

How plastic can be recycled? Plastic recycling includes taking any type of plastic sorting it into different polymers and then chipping it and then melting it down into pellets after this stage it can then be used to make items of any kind such as plastic chairs and tables. Soft Plastics are also recycled such as polyethylene film and bags. 4/16/2017 12
Steps to Recycling Materials Recycling includes the three steps below, which create a continuous loop, represented by the familiar recycling symbol. Step 1: Collection and Processing Step 2: Manufacturing Step 3: Purchasing New Products Made from Recycled Materials 4/16/2017 13
How recycling can reduce pollution? Solid waste material that ends up in landfills causes air pollution in the form of methane gas emissions. Recycling more waste reduces the amount of methane that escapes into the air. Recycling also reducing the production of virgin resources which process contributes to pollution . 4/16/2017 14
