Recycling is a common term used to refer to reusing the product to manufacture a new
one (Bodner and Ellen 21). In this way, recycling make already used or old products useful
compared to when they are dumped. People recycle materials for several reasons, such as
pollution reduction, cost reduction, saving energy, and green image cultivation (Bodner and
Ellen 22). Due to the above recycling reasons, there are several recycling advantages: reduction
of global warming and pollution, animals’ habitat and environment protection and, natural
resources conservation. Recycling is one way to protect the environment, reduce costs, create
jobs, conserve natural resources, and reduce energy consumption; therefore, it should be
encouraged in society.
Recycling reduces pollution and global warming cases (Bodner and Ellen 24). Recycling
denotes that the products or materials that might have been dumped on land get reused.
Whenever the old materials get reused, the demand for brand new products gets eliminated or
reduced, and in this way, the dumping gets reduced, and the cleaner the environment (Geyer,
Roland, et al. 1014). Similarly, the emissions due to the production of new products get reduced
since old materials get reused. Again, when wastes are dumped, in many cases, they get burnt,
which also leads to carbon dioxide in the air, thus creating chances of global warming if
practiced on a large scale. Introduction recycling reduces global warming and pollution (Leal
Filho, Walter, et al. 13).

Recycling helps in cost reduction and job creation (Bodner and Ellen 29). Recycling
reduces the cost of operation to individuals, especially to business persons seeking to profit by
reducing costs. Recycling achieves this by reusing products that had already been used, which is
cheaper than buying brand new products (Leal Filho, Walter, et al. 14). Saved cost may seem
little in the short term, but in the long term can turn out a huge amount of capital to the business
or to an individual (Geyer, Roland, et al. 1016). Purchasing recycled products is also cheaper
compared to buying a brand new product. Recycling has also contributed hugely to employment
creation. Recycling sectors employ individuals to collect the used materials in different parts of
society to earn a living (Bodner and Ellen 29).
Products recycle assists in natural resources conservation and energy consumption
reduction (Leal Filho, Walter, et al. 17). As discussed in the cost reduction, recycling also helps
in energy consumption since recycling requires little energy than manufacturing new products.
Reduction of energy usage comes with several advantages, such as reducing pollution and cost of
operation (Bodner and Ellen 28). Recycling also aids in natural resource protection, such as
trees. Everyone likes forestation! It comes with many advantages, such as rain attraction and
acting as windbreakers (Bodner and Ellen 29). When recycling is practiced, cutting fresh trees to
make furniture reduces; since the wood from broken furniture can be used as firewood or timber
to make new furniture instead of cutting down a fresh tree to get firewood or timber (Geyer,
Roland, et al. 1017).
In conclusion, everybody likes these three things—saving cost and job opportunity
creation, having a clean environment, and natural resources protection. The recycling department
creates employment for individuals who collect old products or sensitize the community on
recycling benefits. Purchasing a recycled product is reasonably cheaper compared to brand new

products. Similarly, recycling reduces energy consumption, which again reduces the cost of
power and environmental pollution.
