Why Recycle?

Recycling is one of the most effective ways to reduce waste and protect our environment. Here's why it matters:

Natural Resources

Protects Natural Resources

Recycling reduces the need for extracting, refining and processing raw materials, which helps conserve natural resources and protects ecosystems.

Energy Saving

Saves Energy

Manufacturing products from recycled materials typically requires less energy than producing them from virgin materials.

Climate Change

Combats Climate Change

Recycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions by decreasing the need for energy-intensive extraction and manufacturing processes.
