What is Recycling?
Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and products. It's a key component of waste reduction and forms part of the waste hierarchy: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Recycling helps conserve raw materials, saves energy, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and decreases the amount of waste sent to landfill.
