Recycling
Recycling is
a process for the treatment of metals, plastics, waste (industrial waste or
household refuse), which makes it possible to reintroduce, in the production
cycle of a product, materials that made up a similar product at the end of its life,
or Manufacturing residues.
Recycling
has two major ecological consequences:
· Reducing the
volume of waste, and therefore the pollution it would cause (some materials
take decades or even centuries to degrade);
· The preservation
of natural resources, since the recycled material is used instead of the one that
should have been extracted.
The three
main principles of recycling:
1. Reduce: groups actions at the production level to
reduce the tonnages of objects likely to end up in waste;
2. Reuse: regroups actions to reuse a
used product to give it a second life, for an identical or different use;
3. Recycle: refers to all waste
collection and treatment operations used to reintroduce the materials that
constituted the waste into a manufacturing cycle.
