Recycling is the collection, procesing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown
away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic
spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaim the original material and uses it in new
products.
3
Recycling can be done internally (within a company) or externally (after a product is sold

and used). In the paper industry, for example, internal recycling occurs when leftover stock and
trimmings are slavaged to help make more new products. External recycling occurs when
materials used by the customers are returned for processing into new products.
In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy
than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for
high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the
manufacturing process. Recycling decreases the amount of land needed for trash dumps by
reducing the volume of discarded waste.
Rare materials, such as gold and silver, are recycled because acquiring new supplies is
expensive. Other materials may not be as expensive to replace, but they are recycled to conserve
energy, reduce pollution, conserve land, and to save money.
