Benefits of Recycling Plastic
Recycling plastic has numerous benefits. Some of them are described below:
- Plastics are non-biodegradable and they pose a threat to environment as well as humans. They block and pollute waterways and water bodies. Rather than discarding them as waste, recycling plastics keeps them from turning into pollutants and preserves environment.
- There is a booming manufacturing industry which uses recycled plastics as raw materials to manufacture new useful plastic products. Recycled plastics are sent to these industries to be processed, redesigned and converted into new shapes and are used to manufacture different appliances.
- If plastics are recycled, the amount of plastic waste being taken to the landfills is greatly reduced. Landfill spaces are fast depleting. Recycling helps preserve precious landfill space which can be used for human settlement or agriculture or other important economic activities.
- Recycling of plastics requires less energy as compared to manufacturing it from scratch. Hence, a lot of energy can saved by recycling materials and this energy can be utilized for other important things in the economy.
- Collecting and recycling plastics has generated a lot of jobs and opened up new business avenues which garner huge profits. This industry will in the long run contribute towards improving the economy and boost the standard of living of many people.
Industries across the world are gradually realizing the many advantages of recycling not just plastic but many other waste materials for effective waste management.
