Recycling! When we here this word a number of thoughts start entering our minds, but the most important question would be why should we recycle and what are the benefits of recycling? This blog tries to give you a little knowledge about recycling.

First of all let us understand what recycling is all about? Recycling is the process of collecting trash to remanufacture new products which are usable. A number of products are recycled but the most common recycling process involves: glass recycling, metal recycling and paper recycling. Reusing the products for different purposes instead of throwing them is also a type of recycling.

Benefits of recycling:

1.    Every recycled ton of paper saves 17 trees.

2.    Recycling helps in preventing natural habitants from getting destroyed.

3.    When one ton of steel is recycled it conserves 2,500 pounds of iron, 1,400 pounds of coal and 120 pounds of limestone.

4.    Recycling protects natural resources like wood, minerals, timber and water.

5.    It takes 95% less energy to recycle aluminum than it does to make it from raw materials. Making recycled steel saves 60%, recycled newspaper 40%, recycled plastics 70%, and recycled glass 40%. These savings far outweigh the energy created as by-products of incineration and land filling.
