The benefits of recycling are still not realized by most people or it seems to be a huge effort to care about what we throw, where we throw it, sorting things we want to throw, etc. Here are some of the advantages we should pay attention to:

• Recycling saves energy. It takes much less energy to recycle old materials and transform them into a completely new product.
• Recycling saves natural resources which are not limitless and are not recoverable in the quantity we use them.
• Recycling helps improve economy. Many people earn their living in the recycling sector. People have incomes from selling materials for recycling.
• Recycling keeps clean the environment. Instead of burning or burying materials recycling makes them reusable.

      There are different and innovative technologies of recycling.  The new Material Recycling Facility of Edwards Recycling in London for instance is designed to divert as much waste as possible away from landfill. It can take almost any mixture of materials such as cardboard, newspapers and magazines, steel and aluminum cans, plastics (milk bottles, drinking bottles, yogurt pots) and glass if necessary, then screen and sort it by special systems and transfer it to a further process.

      Recycled materials are being used in many industry sectors. They find application in highway construction, building construction and car industry as well. The usage of recycled materials for manufacturing a wide variety of products is gaining popularity. Still many people hesitate to buy such products. It is important to know that they respond to the same quality and safety standards as those produced of virgin materials. Buying furniture of recyclable materials for our home and garden does not mean that we spend money on "waste", but makes our home eco-friendly. The process of recycling transforms things into the basic material they were made of. Isn't it worth using them for creating something we need instead of polluting the environment? This is the way people of modern society should accept the usage of recycled materials. We all can help slowing down the irreversible process of destroying the natural resources of our planet by doing several simple things:

·        producing less waste

·        sorting and giving it for recycling

·        buying eco-friendly products.

      We should give ourselves an account how our actions or the lack of such reflect on the world and respectively on human life. Hopefully more people will realize the importance of the recycling activity and give their contribution to it.
