Recyclable resources are materials that can be processed and reused to create new products, reducing waste and conserving natural resources. Common recyclable materials include paper, glass, plastic, and metal. By recycling these items, we can minimize the amount of waste sent to landfills and decrease the need for raw materials. The recycling process typically involves collecting, sorting, and processing these materials. Once processed, they can be transformed into new products, such as recycled paper or aluminum cans. This not only helps the environment but also saves energy and reduces pollution associated with manufacturing new products from virgin materials.
