Reusing or recycling materials is helpful to the environment because raw materials such as, trees, minerals, and metals do not have to be abstracted from the environment to make a new product. Paper, plastic, glass, metal, and engine oil can all be recycled and reused and made into new products, which substitutes the need for wood-pulp, oil, and mined metal, which are ingredients needed to make new products. By reusing the resources, we are going though them slower, which is giving them more time to replenish and gives the human race time to find alternatives to Natural Resources.
Recycling is helpful to the economy because it is more expensive to locate and extract raw materials. Making new products from recycled material saves money because much of the process have already been done. The reason some companies don't use recycled materials more often is because the cost of converting their factories and production lines to use recycled material is too high.

∙ 12y agoIf we don't recycle, we'll have to find the necessary materials elsewhere, and there is a limit to how much of anything the earth can produce. In the case of things like natural ores, once it's used up that's it - there is no more.
