Reuse: Recycling of products means reusing them again and again. If we reuse our products, we save energy and reduce waste. This way our environment will remain clean and garbage-free. The energy required to make new products can be utilised in some other important areas.

Save Money:Recycling of products not only helps in saving energy but is also easy on your pockets. You can save a lot of money by recycling things. So, next time make sure that you purchase recycled products rather than new ones.

Decreases Pollution: Well, we believe that we do not contribute to pollution. However, have you ever thought whether you are doing your bit to reduce pollution? If the answer is ‘Yes’, then you are going great, but if the answer is ‘No’, then you should contribute towards reducing pollution. Recycling of products reduces waste which in turn reduces garbage and can help in avoiding land pollution.

Maintain Ecological Balance and Conserve our Resources: Yes, we can maintain ecological balance by recycling products that use natural resources as raw materials. For example, in making paper, we need wood which we get by cutting down trees. The constant cutting down of tress can lead to many ill effects on the environment and ecology. Instead, we can recycle and reuse paper, so that the demand of new paper products is reduced. Hope you keep these things in mind when you require paper products.

Protects the Environment: Recycling of products reduces the need for processes like mining, extracting, refining etc. All these processes lead to air and water pollution, ultimately harming the environment. Thus, your small step towards recycling can protect the environment in a big way.

Can Reduce Landfills: When recycling becomes a regular process, it will drastically reduce the waste sent to landfill sites. This way we can reduce landfills as well.
