Recycling Facts Infographic

Recycling is a mechanism through which items that might have been thrown away as waste are recycled, refined and converted into new goods. Your society and the world will benefit from recycling. Recycling is a $200bn industry, according to the Bureau of International Recycling. In most countries, recycling is considered a government problem, not an individual responsibility.

While recycling is an essential part of waste management, it is difficult for most people to recycle daily due to lack of awareness and personal motivation. Without proper recycling, we generate 2.12 million tons of waste per year. Almost 300 million tons of plastic waste are produced each year, half of which is used once. Up to 91% of plastic waste is not recycled. Any of this plastic ends up in the landfill or in the ocean.
