Recycling

Recycling is good for the environment. It is one of the best ways for us to have a positive impact on the world in which we live.

When we recycle, used materials are converted into new products. It takes less energy, and it’s cheaper to recycle than to get new raw materials. Recycling also contributes significantly to a healthy economy as it creates jobs as well as products to be sold and helps to protect the natural environment.

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
