recycling.
 To encourage people to recycle and reduce waste.
 To help our environment from all the pollution.
What is Recycling?
Recycling is the process of
collecting and processing materials
that would otherwise be thrown
away as trash and turning them into
new products. Recycling can
benefit your community and the
environment.

Three types of recycling
5
Mechanical Recycling
Mechanical recycling is the process of making plastic wastes
useful by processes like grinding, washing, separating, drying,
re-granulating, and compounding. The polymers stay
unaffected in this process and can be reused again and again in
the same or similar product. Such mechanically recycled plastics
are used in making garbage bags, floors, hoses, car parts, and
packages.

Energy Recycling
The method used to convert plastics into both thermal
and electric energy is called energy recycling. The
process is done by leveraging, through incineration and
the heat is released in the form of fuel. As this recycling
process requires a little room, it can diversify the
energetic matrix and optimize the space available in
highly populated cities. As it is not financially sustainable,
so it requires heavy investment and public authorities’
engagement. This recycling method is widely used in
Europe and Japan.

Chemical Recycling
In this process, the chemical structures of plastics are
modified after reprocessing them. The final product
is produced to be used as raw material in different
industries. It can also be used as a basic input in
manufacturing new plastic products. It is an expensive
process and requires a large amount of plastic
available.

Why is recycling so
important?
The more we recycle, the less garbage
winds up in our landfills and
incineration plants. By reusing
aluminum, paper, glass, plastics, and
other materials, we can save production
and energy costs, and reduce the
negative impacts that the extraction and
processing of virgin materials has on the
environment.
How does recycling
help the EARTH
14
Recycling prevents the emissions
of many greenhouse gases and
water pollutants and saves
energy. Using recovered material
generates less solid waste.
Recycling helps to reduce the
pollution caused by the extraction
and processing of virgin materials.

Benefits of
recycling
16
•Reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and
incinerators.
•Conserves natural resources such as timber, water
and minerals.
•Increases economic security by tapping a domestic
source of materials.
•Prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect
new raw materials.
•Saves energy.

What will happen if we
don’t recycle?
18
When we don't recycle, reuse and reduce, we
destroy natural habitats. As it is, our earth
cannot cope with the current rate of
destruction. By failing to reuse what we already
have, we'll end up in a sticky situation of
running out of resources.

Tips to recycle at home
20
•
Flatten cardboard boxes so that you can fit more recyclables into your bin.
•
All plastic bottles can be recycled, from water bottles to salad dressing, so put
all of them in your recycling container.
•
It is not just newspapers that you can recycle at home. Also, recycle wrapping
paper, envelopes, birthday cards and phone books. All sorts of cardboard can be
recycled, too, even toilet and paper towel tubes.
•
Most metallic items in the home can be recycled, such as empty spray cans and
tin foil, and of course, all empty soda, fruit, vegetable and other food cans.
•
Keep a space in your cupboard so that you can recycle as you are cooking or
cleaning. It will make it easier for you to put the recyclables in their proper
place.
