Recycling is the process of breaking down and re-using materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash. Many communities and businesses make it easy to recycle by placing labelled containers in the open for public use, or providing bins for home and business owners who have curb side pickup.

The recycling process involves three stages. In the first stage, the old products are collected and processed, where they are sorted, cleaned and made ready for recycling or manufacturing new products. The second stage involves the manufacturing of new products from the raw material obtained by the processing of the old products.

Finally, the process ends with the purchasing of recycled goods by the consumers. The more people step forward to buy recycled products, the better the success of the process can be ensured. Buying recycled products will only increase when every individual will develop an awareness of the difference that can be made by utilizing their old household objects as raw materials to produce new goods and help the environment by recycling.

A great example that we need to follow is - in Kamikatsu, Japan, there are separate bins for different types trash that gets recycled and the other part of the where we barely ever think about not getting a straw with your drink or not buying food without packaging or minimal packaging because somebody may have touched it.

The people in Kamikatsu have grew to include the daily habit of separating trash it specified bins. One of the easiest way to help improve the world is use Ecosia, every search plants a tree. It is a very easy transition to move towards contributing to the world.
