Recyclable materials are items that can be processed and turned into new products instead of being thrown away. Common examples include paper, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and glass jars. By recycling these materials, we help reduce waste in landfills and conserve natural resources, making our planet healthier. When we recycle, we also save energy and reduce pollution. For instance, recycling aluminum uses 95% less energy than making new aluminum from raw materials. By understanding what can be recycled and participating in recycling programs, we can all contribute to a more sustainable future for our communities and the environment.
