Scrap Recycling Forum

Most new aluminium cans are made from 50% recycled aluminium. Enough energy is saved by recycling one aluminium that can to run a TV set for three hours. Today most bottles and jars contain at least 25% recycled glass.

Maybe in the USA or in highly developed coutries. But have you taken in consideration small countries.. for example Romania and Bulgaria? Recycling isn't that important everywhere.

Recycling is important as it saves our planet by reducing waste. It saves tax payer's precious money being wasted on garbage collection and disposal, but also it helps us poor folks save money.

it is important because now days the resources were limited and to preserve them we have to use the concept of recycling.

Recycling is really important, any object that is recycled was made on a small amount energy. More energy you produce the more fossil fuel you burn the more pollution you create. This goes in new objects made everyday.

"Resources are limited" so we should know the importance of resources and use it without wasting them. Thus recycling is very much essential....

I agree to this... things on this earth is getting extinct so we should know to use it carefully. thus encourage recycling.

Recycling is one of the best ways for you to have a positive impact on the world in which we live. Recycling is important to both the natural environment and us. We must act fast as the amount of waste we create is increasing all the time.

The amount of rubbish we create is constantly increasing because:

Increasing wealth means that people are buying more products and ultimately creating more waste.
Increasing population means that there are more people on the planet to create waste.
New packaging and technological products are being developed, much of these products contain materials that are not biodegradable.
New lifestyle changes, such as eating fast food, means that we create additional waste that isn’t biodegradable.
Environmental Importance
Recycling is very important as waste has a huge negative impact on the natural environment.

Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from rubbish in landfill sites. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste.
Habitat destruction and global warming are some the affects caused by deforestation. Recycling reduces the need for raw materials so that the rainforests can be preserved.
Huge amounts of energy are used when making products from raw materials. Recycling requires much less energy and therefore helps to preserve natural resources.
Importance To People
Recycling is essential to cities around the world and to the people living in them.

No space for waste. Our landfill sites are filling up fast, by 2010, almost all landfills in the UK will be full.
Reduce financial expenditure in the economy. Making products from raw materials costs much more than if they were made from recycled products.
Preserve natural resources for future generations. Recycling reduces the need for raw materials; it also uses less energy, therefore preserving natural resources for the future.

Recycling is so important because if every one thought that recycling is not important we will end up being poor . we won't have paper. We use paper daily and paper comes from trees we kill trees to use paper so if we rycycle paper we don't have to kill more trees.
Well usually people think that yeah what will this paper do they waste blank paper if u recycle they can re use this paper they wouldn't have to cut more trees to make papers.
Please everyone help the enviorment be a better one by recycling and not killing poor trees. Don't let the day come where we will be in need of the shade of trees and there is no shade. where we will be in need for paper to write on for our education and we have no paper. Save trees!

recycling and reusing the product or any thing for that matter will surely help the environment to be in a perfect unharness way. And moreover we get some money or values when we recycle the waste products so it is necessary to everyone not to waste any of those products which can be recycled.
