Waste recycling can :

– Save natural resources such as timber (paper, cardboard), oil (plastic), sand (glass).
– Save energy as electricity used to make products recycling avoids remanufactured. Some wastes are burned to produce heat (heating homes) plants.
– Reduce pollution because it does not need to remake some objects: glass bottles, cans … We reduced the number of discharges that are polluting and dirty.
– Preserve the environment because we need less natural material.

Where are the wastes going ? :

1. The wastes are unloaded in a hangar
2. The machines open the bags and then they depart on a carpet where they are sorted according to their category
3. The wastes fall in baskets and thepaper remains on the carpet
4. Wastes are baled and sent to recycling centers
