Waste Recycling

Crushed aluminum ready to be recycled into new cans, although recycling may seem like a modern concept introduced with the environmental movement of the 1970s, it's actually been around for thousands of years. Prior to the industrial age, you couldn't make goods quickly and cheaply, so virtually everyone practiced recycling in some form. However, large-scale recycling programs were very rare -- households predominantly practiced recycling. The mass production of the industrial age is, in many ways, the very reason we need to worry about large-scale recycling. When products can be produced (and purchased) very cheaply, it often makes more economic sense to simply throw away old items and purchase brand new ones. In the 1930s and 40s, conservation and recycling became important in American society and in many other parts of the world. Economic depressions made recycling a necessity for many people to survive, as they couldn't afford new goods. In the 1940s, goods such as nylon, rubber and many metals were rationed and recycled to help support the war effort. Although there has been much rise and fall in the trend, the success of recycling traces to wide public acceptance, the improved economics of recycling and laws requiring recycling collections or enforcing recycled content in certain manufacturing processes.

Recycling is very important as waste has a huge negative impact on the natural environment. Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from rubbish in landfill sites. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste. Recycling is one of the best ways for you to have a positive impact on the world in which we live. Recycling is important to both the natural environment and us. We must act fast as the amount of waste we create is increasing all the time. Recycling also helps to reduce global warming and reduce air pollution by reducing the industrial production of new goods. Recycling goods for new goods saves energy and reduces the amount of industrial work that needs to be done to create a new product. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions and thus reduces global warming and air pollution. also reduces waste in global landfills. The processed products will not be brought to landfills, which in turn will not be related to the amount of waste that is on Earth.

Also another view is that its rethorical purpose is to reuse materials that have already been used, and by doing so, saving energy and resources. In this sense, technically is very effective, but in reality is very very ineffective in the sense that recycling is, on way to many occasions, a "feel good" strategy promoted by the industry that is interested in its costumers to keep consuming without worrying about the many concerns raised by the academia and the social and environmental sector when what we should really be doing is simply using less stuff. The moot point is that if we want to use less resources, the best thing we can do is actually use less of them. We should only recycle the things that we cannot avoid. Recycling disposable objects, for example, still uses a lot more resources and energy that using one reusable equivalent item over and over and over again. Think of disposable plastic bottles vs glass or stainless steel ones that you reuse thousands of times.
