Recycling is the process of collecting, sorting, processing, and transforming waste materials into new products, reducing the need for virgin resources and minimizing environmental impact. It begins with the recovery of recyclable materials—such as plastics, metals, paper, glass, or electronic waste—through collection systems or industrial by-products. These materials are then classified by type and quality, cleaned or treated to remove contaminants, and processed through mechanical, thermal, or chemical methods to create raw materials ready for manufacturing. Effective recycling not only conserves natural resources but also lowers energy consumption, decreases greenhouse gas emissions, and supports a circular economy.
