Recycling is the process of turning items like plastic and aluminum back into their raw materials so they can be reused in the creation of new packaging materials or products. This helps the reduce the pollution caused by the manufacturing of new items in addition to reducing the amount of waste in landfills. Supporting recycling initiatives is a good way to play a small part in helping stabilize the environment.
