Recycling scrap
Description
Recycling scrap involves the systematic collection, processing, and reusing of discarded materials such as metals, plastics, and paper to reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and minimize environmental pollution. This strategy addresses the problems of resource depletion and landfill overuse by transforming waste into valuable raw materials, thereby supporting sustainable production cycles, lowering energy consumption, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Effective recycling systems rely on efficient sorting, processing technologies, and public participation.
