Recycling is the process of collecting, processing, and reusing materials that would otherwise be discarded as waste. It involves converting waste materials into new products, thereby reducing the consumption of raw materials, decreasing energy usage, and minimizing pollution and environmental impact. Commonly recycled materials include paper, cardboard, glass, plastics, and metals. The recycling process typically includes the collection of recyclable materials, sorting and cleaning them, and then processing them to create new products. The aim of recycling is to promote sustainability, conserve natural resources, and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators. It is an essential component of waste management and environmental protection strategies.
