What Is Recyling

Recycling is the process of converting materials that have been used already into new products or materials. There are two types of recycling - internal recycling done by companies using waste from manufacturing, and external recycling of items like newspapers, plastic bottles, and aluminum cans after consumer use. Waste can be biodegradable like food, or non-biodegradable like glass and paper. Common materials recycled include paper, plastic, glass, fabric, wood, and tin cans which can be formed into new products. Recycling reduces garbage, encourages creativity, can be profitable, and increases environmental awareness.
