The importance of Recycling
A recycling is the process where certain types of materials, recognized as waste, are reused as raw materials for the manufacture of new products. In addition to being physically different, their chemical properties are also altered. This differs from the so-called reuse of recycling.
It reduces waste that would otherwise be discarded in nature and helps reduce raw materials, often coming from non-renewable resources and energy.
Selective collect
But for recycling to be carried out, another process is necessary, called Selective collect, where materials are separated by type, even though they are not used in the recycling process, as this makes it easier: paper, glass, metal, plastic, organic waste and wood.
Transformation of recyclable materials
In Brazil, cans and PET bottles are disposable materials and are recycled. Plastics, steel cans, glass, among other materials, are little considered in recycling, as previously stated, and therefore reinforce statistics that estimate that only 11% of everything that is thrown in the trash in our country is recycled. However, these materials are very useful when they are reused to produce different materials, such as plastic chairs, toys and a multitude of objects.
Cities such as Curitiba (PR), Itabira (MG), Santo André (SP) and Santos (SP) are the ones that recycle the most waste they produce.
