BENEFIT OF RECYCLING WASTE

Recycling is the processing of waste materials in order to make them reusable. This can make
world being clean and nice place to live. Recycling cans and bottles can help save the earth form
waste and trash buildup and can make new things. This also helps to conserve energy and reduce
the consumption of natural sources such as glass and steel. One way to save the environment is
to recycle used product. Recycling is also very important as waste has huge negative impact on
the natural environment . Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from rubbish in
landfill area. While recycling has become part of daily activities, many people fail to understand
the full significance of recycling. Recycling benefits the people and their environments in several
ways which include the following.

The first benefit it conserves the natural resources as it reduces the need for raw materials
by Industries. Natural resources provide our industries with raw materials for their industrial
processes like Paper factories which use timber from trees. A lot of paper which is the finished
product of these factories end-up as waste after being used in offices and schools. These can be
collected and recycled to produce new products by the same factories. Example many paper
industries today are recycling paper waste to make toilet papers and paper bags which are most
commonly used around the world.

Mean, the other benefit of recycling waste is recycling also protects the environments that
we live in by preventing pollution. It is common in many third world nations to find litter which
comprises plastic bags and paper which cannot decompose thus maintaining their state for years
on the soil. This makes the environment not nice to look at. Discharge of raw sewage into our
environments also worsens the situation by contaminating it. In order to ensure that our
environment is protected, we should embrace the concept of personal responsibility by ensuring
we re-use and reduce all materials can not be used again.Example plastic bag that having used in
supermarket change to paper bag.

The last benefit of recycling waste is recycling can protects our health in several ways.
The materials that we do not need and wrongfully can make the place for dangerous insects. Raw
and untreated sewage emanating from industries and home if discharged into water its becomes
hazardous for living organisms. Contaminated water if used for farming and cooking by
communities results into waterborne diseases like pneumonia and typhoid which is common in
places where water is polluted. Plastic bags also disposed openly on the environment become
breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Example,when it rains plastic bags trap water that serves as
habitat for mosquito larvae which can result to malaria outbreak.

In conclusion, many people need to understand the importance of benefit recycling waste.
Recycling plays an important role in modern economies to be improve for limited natural
resources by ensuring waste is re-used and reduced Therefore, people should embark on the
recycling of waste materials as a means of solving some of the issues affecting the earth such as
global warming and the depletion of natural resource.
