• Recycling reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and the environment, which can harm wildlife and ecosystems.
• Recycling can reduce the amount of energy needed to create new products because recycled materials require less energy to process than raw materials.
• Recycling can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the amount of energy required to produce new products and diverting waste away from landfills, where methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is produced.
