What is Recycling
It is just another name for converting waste into a reusable product, A process involved in manufacturing a new product from that is already used and served its purpose is called recycling. If you are not throwing away a bottle of water you just finished and instead of using it for something else, you are actually recycling. Items that are made from plastic, paper or metal can be separated from your regular rubbish bin and put in a recycling bin provided by your local trash collectors.
We human beings have been careless with the way our planet earth has been treated so far. We need to change not just for ourselves but for our future generations. We need to put our words into actions. If we all do our bit in recycling, It will make a huge difference in reducing water and air pollution and avoid landfills. Most of the plastics can be reused, PET or polyethylene is no exception.
