Default Recycling is about sustainability.

Positive effects on our natural resources, by making the products from recycled materials instead of virgin materials, we reduce the need to cut down trees, drill for oil and dig for materials.
Saves landfill space. When the materials that you recycle are made into new products, they don't go into landfills or incinerators, so scarce landfill space is conserved.
Conservation of valuable energy. It usually takes less energy to make recycled products for example:it takes 95% less energy to recycle aluminum than to make it from bauxite ore.

Keeps air water and soil clean: In most cases, making products from recycled material creates less air pollution and water pollution than making products from virgin materials.
It is our Environment: By recycling, we can feel good about helping to protect our earth for future generations.
