In all countries the recycling not only to reduce the amount of waste but also helps to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide, oil, electricity and water.
The recycling of all kinds of materials from paper, glass, plastic, metals, etc. but the use of renewable energies will allow a better Energy Efficiency and decrease in pollution.
The recycling of raw materials allows significant savings in the industrial area since most of the Energy that it consumes is to extract and produce raw materials to later elaborate the products.
An example to be able to understand the magnitude of the energy savings that one has when it is recycled is that if recycled aluminum is used, only 5% of what it would be consumed if it were extracted from a mine is spent, so there is a 95% saving of energy as well as less emissions.
It is vital that all sectors of society commit to saving energy and seeking efficiency in the use of energy. Especially the industrial sectors since they are the ones that use more energy and generate more pollution.
The construction of recycling plants that use renewable energy is absolutely viable economically but also environmentally. There is efficient technology to save energy in the recycling process, so a massive use would allow important environmental improvements. As well as costs since it is cheaper the recycled raw materials than those obtained from sources.
Promoting the recycling industry is a way to greatly collaborate with environmental care and to fight against climate change.
But it is not only necessary for industries to recycle but for all citizens to participate in this task so that the full potential of materials once discarded is really used, and to be able to reinsert them back into the production chain.
