Recycling

If there was no such thing as recycling, perhaps the world would be one big junk yard by now. A lot of hard work goes into recycling. Its not an easy task to collect waste, manufacture it, make it into something useful and then create a market for the recycled product. It takes more than a few people to carry out the entire recycling process. The most difficult part of recycling is probably collecting waste. Its tedious and requires a lot of time and energy.

The benefits are innumerous, it helps get rid of so much waste. Also recycled products require a very low capital investment, this encourages companies to get into the recycling business. These days people have become more aware about the environment and prefer buying environment friendly products. It also ensures a cleaner and healthier place to live in. Paper, cans and plastic usually top the list of products that are recycled.

It is not a one time process, recycled products can be recycled again. There is no end to this cycle. Even in India people have become aware and are trying to promote recycled paper, glasses, etc. and many organisations have taken it upon themselves to promote these products.

It is one activity that can be done by anyone as no special skills are required to do so. Recycling should be promoted in a big way in order to get more people involved. It would probably solve only five percent of the world’s problems but solving something is better than solving nothing
