Our cities and towns suffer from a huge amount of waste of different kinds. Cans, bottles and paper don't make the place we live in attractive. Besides, the waste also pollutes the soil. The best solution of this problem is recycling, which means collecting waste or used materials and reusing them to produce new products. The items that are typically recycled are glass and plastic bottles, aluminium cans, paper and things made of wood and plastic, etc.11So, we recycle many different materials now. One which we are all familiar with is paper. To save energy, trees and all the animals that depend on the trees it is imperative that recycled paper become the norm of our life.Placing the paper in the recycle bin helps re-create paper from existing resources. This diverts the waste meant for landfills into usable products which uses less energy, water and material to produce.12Metals can be recycled without losing any their key properties. Copper, nickel, brass, lead, gold, silver, etc. can all be recycled. Since these metals are all quite valuable only a smaller quantity is in circulation. The recovery of these metals is sometimes ignored especially when they are used in households and these items are disposed of by the householders. Recycling aluminum can reap great benefits thus, reducing monetary as well as environmental costs. To make cans from recovered aluminum, for example, requires 10% of the energy needed to make them from virgin ore. Steel recycling, especially from cars and trucks but also from food cans, is very economically as well as environmentally advantageous.13Plastic recycling is key in reducing waste. Recycled plastic can be used in many applications and products, such as packaging, construction or automobile components. Plastic film from sources such as pallet wrap, carrier bags, and agricultural film are made into new film products such as bin liners, carrier bags and refuse sacks on a large scale. Use of recycled plastic helps demonstrate a brand image towards commitment to sustainable resource use.14Man has found ways to recycle glass. This in fact, is highly recommended and beneficial to the manufacturing line as it is easier to produce and cost less. Crushed glass known as cullets, melts easier and faster and cost less than the raw materials used to produce glass. This practice is endorsed by the US Environmental Protection Agency as a better and greener way to produce glass. Recycled glass is widely used for various purposes, among them construction.15We are all familiar with recycling newspapers, aluminum cans, glass and plastic bottles, but many of us are not even aware of the efforts carried out by giant petroleum industry to promote used motor oil for recycling, for example, providing convenient collection sites for the purpose of keeping used motor oil out of our water supplies and making sure that the oil goes back into the recycling cycle. Oddly enough, even after it has been drained from an engine, motor oil retains some of its value. The oil collected can be recycled to save energy. Many institutions, schools or plants process the used oil for electricity generation. Some plants even process it to be used for engine oil again.16It is necessary to recycle rubber as it increases landfill pollution. It is used all around the globe in many things, most importantly the tires of vehicles. The rubber takes a very long time to decompose and when it is burnt, poisonous and carcinogenic gases are released increasing the pollution. So rubber is recycled in industries to assist the economy and it also saves energy recycled rubber has many uses. In addition to tires, it is also remade into roofing material, floor mats, garden hoses, and shoe soles, among other uses.Thus, the development of modern technologies and equipment allows recycling the waste and produce new goods which are necessary for people. Recycling also helps to save energy and important resources and reduce the amount of rubbish. Recycling is important in today's world if we want to leave this planet for our future generations.What materials can be recycled?A rubber is recycled in industriesB the oil collected can be recycledC recycling should start from homeD recycled paper should become the norm of our lifeE recycled glass is widely used for various purposesF we do not think of recycling as a norm of lifeG recycling aluminum can have great benefitsH recycled plastic can be used in many applications
