According to ERA (Electronic Recycle Asoociation), these are some of the benefits of recycling:
- Reduction of waste sent to landfills.
- Preservation of natural resources such as metals and heavy metals.
- It helps prevent pollution by reducing the need to collect new, raw materials.
- Energy saving.
- Reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change.
- It helps to preserve the environment for future generations.
- It helps create new, well-paid jobs in the recycling and processing industries
- Once the materials are recycled, they can be reused to produce new products. In addition, keeping heavy metals out of the landfill prevents these metals from reacting to rainwater that leaks into the landfill, forming a toxic soup called rinse, which can enter the groundwater and contaminate the water we consume.
—– Expanding our thinking for a moment, let's explore the global benefits of recycling, as we only have one planet and we need to share and preserve its resources.
