recycle...possibly
matter, chemical raw materials
Reducing the use or necessity for raw materials has two main positive functions. By recycling the product and using this with less raw materials we save the raw materials needed and remove the need to store the waste (the product being recycled). This can allow for less land fill, less use of new/raw materials and make the raw materials last longer
At its very core, recycling is the process of using a material again rather than throwing it away. Through the process of recycling, valuable materials such as plastics, cardboard, paper, and metal are processed into new products in order to keep them out of landfills, reduce energy and water consumption, minimize pollution, and save raw natural resources.
Yes, there are many recycling facilities that even offer full-service transportation and dumpster services that make construction debris recycling extremely manageable and beneficial. Some benefits of recycling with a waste disposal facility: Reduced raw materials needed to make a new product. Reduced land fill issue cause by dumping materials that can be added to raw materials to continue teh production cycle Reduced use of expensive raw materials that are presently pushing up construction costs world wide Reduction in material milages caused by traveleing raw materials, production of materials and delivery of materials Reduced carbo issues Reduced over resourcing of the worlds raw materials
By companies and governments pushing to make recycling compulsory the materials then collected can be used with only small amount of the original raw materials to make the product again. i.e. Glass recycled can be melted down with small amounts of fresh silica etc to make more glass. The raw materials are then save. Its estimated that 80% of raw materials can be saved if recycled materials were introduced in to the production system
70% less energy is required to recycle paper compared with making it from raw materials.
Simply because - the raw materials are NOT an endless supply. It costs money to import the raw materials from abroad. Additionally, it takes less energy to recycle existing stocks of waste metal - than create new metal from their base materials. Recycling, therefore, saves money and resources.
It costs money and energy to extract the raw materials for things like tin cans from the earth. Recycling old cans into new ones (a) means you don't have to mine the raw materials, and (b) uses less energy to melt and re-corm the cans. The raw materials will not be around forever - the more we recycle - the less we have to rely on the earth to provide for us.
It's a term used in Asia to mean industrial recycling, from waste back into raw materials for new production.
The actual amount of money that one would save by recycling is going to vary based on the type of recycling method used. So, as example recycling alluminum cans, can save up to 95% of the actual cost compared to extracting the raw material bauxite.
The use of smaller automobiles, the use of energy efficient appliances, recycling plastics, glass, aluminum and paper
