 What is Recycling?
Recycling is the process of converting waste materials, that would usually be thrown away, into new
materials and objects. Recycling waste reduces the amount of harmful materials produced and
reduces energy usage, therefore benefitting the environment.
Why Should We Recycle?
There are lots of great reasons as to why we should recycle, including:
 Recycling conserves resources - when we recycle our waste, it is turned into new things! This means that we don't
have to use up more and more natural resources making new products. Instead, we can use old recycled materials to
create new products. A lot of water bottles are recycled, and you can even get notebooks made out of old tyres!
 Recycling saves energy - using recycled materials in the manufacturing process takes up a lot less energy than it does
to use newly sourced materials.
 Recycling helps to protect the environment - recycling means we don't have to gather new, raw materials, which
causes water and air pollution. Recycling also saves energy, which means it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions,
which helps to combat climate change.
 Recycling reduces landfill - everything you don't recycle will end up in a landfill. Some materials can take hundreds,
if not thousands, of years to decompose. The more we recycle, the less material ends up in landfill.
 Recycling can reduce your carbon footprint - everything we do on this planet leaves a trace. Recycling can help to
reduce the amount of damage we all do to the environment. You can learn more about carbon footprints by looking

Recycling Facts
! In the UK, we recycle around 80% of paper.
Paper is one of the most recycled materials.
It only takes six days to turn old books, newspapers, and
magazines into new ones.
The recycling of paper takes 70% less energy than making new
paper from raw materials.
It can take plastic up to 500 years to decompose.
55% of plastic waste ends up in landfills and the ocean.
Not all plastics can be recycled, but many can.
Glass is 100% recyclable.
Once in landfill, food waste can release methane, a greenhouse
gas.
Enough plastic is thrown away each year to circle the earth four
times.

 ESSAY
Recycling has become an important call in the world these days. With increasing population and rapid industrialization,
the amount of waste being produced has increased manifold. It is important to recycle this waste so as to protect our
environment.
We need recycling for many reasons. But most importantly, it will help us to save our planet. Besides, recycling saves the
earth by facilitating the reprocess of paper which will save millions of trees.
Also, recycling saves a lot of energy because many things that we recycle can easily be converted into virgin materials. In
addition, it saves a lot of resources too.
Moreover, recycling reduces the burden of the environment. As we save energy the number of greenhouse gases and
oxides are produced in less quantity. Because most of the toxic gases are produced by factories.
In addition, recycling reduces the amount of waste, that takes years to decompose. Also, the recycled material can be sold.
We use this recycled material for the manufacturing of many new products. So, ultimately recycling saves money.

Conclusion
So, there are many reasons why we should recycle. Recycling helps in conserving natural resources, saving energy,
reducing pollution, and creating employment opportunities. It also reduces the amount of waste that is sent to landfills.
So, let’s do our part in protecting the environment by recycling!
