Recycling systems are processes designed to collect, sort, and process materials that can be reused instead of being discarded as waste. These systems typically involve several steps, including collection from households and businesses, transportation to recycling facilities, and sorting materials like paper, plastic, and metals. The goal is to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and conserve natural resources. Once materials are sorted, they are cleaned and processed into raw materials that can be used to create new products. For example, recycled plastic can be transformed into new containers, while paper can be reprocessed into new sheets. This not only helps the environment but also supports a circular economy.
