Workers sort used plastic bottles in a recycling factory. They help to prevent the bottles from being discarded or sent to a landfill, where they can take 1,000 years to biodegrade, or incinerated, which produces toxic fumes.
The emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases will be reduced if recycling takes place in the production of new plastics.
This small yet significant act supports environmental sustainability by promoting a responsible cycle of reuse, reducing the strain on natural resources, and safeguarding our ecosystem for future generations.
It helps cut down on the amount of trash thrown into landfills so our garbage doesn’t take up much space.
Recycling plastic bottles conserves natural resources such as trees, metal ores, and sand.
