Adds jobs to the economy.Slows the consuming of natural resources. You reduce the amount of resources needed to make the same item compared to making it without recycling.Makes people environmentally aware.Promotes scientific advancements in recyclable and biodegradable materials.Makes governments and businesses choose programs and apply policies in consideration of preserving and respecting the environment
the world of recycling, there are a few true standouts. These are the materials that can be recycled again and again, never losing their integrity.

As contained in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), postconsumer material is “paper, paperboard and fibrous wastes from retail stores, office buildings, homes and so forth after they have passed through their end-usage as a consumer item, including used corrugated boxes, old newspapers, old magazines, mixed waste paper, tabulating cards and used cordage; and all paper, paperboard and fibrous wastes that enter and are collected from municipal solid waste”.
The process by which materials that would otherwise be destined for disposal are used to manufacture products. In other words, successful recycling requires that four things happen in sequence: (1) collection of recyclable materials; (2) intermediate processing to remove contaminants, sort and compact materials for shipment; (3) manufacturing of new products; and, (4) the purchase of products containing recovered materials by business and individual consumers. When an item says “recycled content,” a portion of the material is recycled..
