Environmental Impact Of Recycling On The Environment

According to Environmental Paper Network, 2007: ' 'Making copy paper from 100% recycled content fiber instead of 100% virgin forest fibers reduces total energy consumption by 44%, net greenhouse gas emissions by 38%, particulate emissions by 41%, wastewater by 50%, solid waste by 49% and wood use by 100%".these statistics clearly show the impact of recycling. Therefore, recycling waste is very important for the environment these days. The purpose of this study is to help the environment by using recycled objects. It is very important for everyone to know that recycling can help them to get better life because the pollution will be less. Recycling can have a huge impact on the environment by reducing pollution, minimizing the threats posed

It is observed that the greenhouse gasses is going up. Because of that, it is important to stop it before it goes to the dangerous level. The effective way to stop it is recycling. By recycling, you will use less energy. So, fewer fossil fuel are burned which reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and decreases greenhouse gasses which decrease global warming. According to studies the landfills are responsible for about 25% of world greenhouse gas. By Recycling waste in the landfills, the amount of greenhouse gas will minimize because when you leave it in the landfill they will burn it. So, that will release greenhouse gas which is the main reason of causing the global warming. Also, you can minimize the global warming by recycling paper. About 35% of municipal solid waste by weight is paper and paper products (the impact of consumption 2016). By recycling paper, you will save the trees from cutting or burning in the land fields. The trees are responsible for reducing the global warming. By taking carbon dioxide from the air which it kind of greenhouse gas and storing it and releasing the oxygen to the sky. So, by recycling paper you will make the manufactures cutting less trees than before. Recycling materials is a good way to reduce global warming. By recycling materials you will reduce the needs for extracting the materials from underground. This is very good because such this activates released a lot of

It is important to reduce the energy consumption because producing energy takes a lot of money and manpower and in sometimes it is might damage the environment. So, it is important to reduce the energy consumption. The process of produce a new product from non-recycled materials it takes a lot of energy. But, when you using recycled materials it will take less energy than before. For example, according to the municipal solid waste company in USA, 2005:"every pound of steel recycled saves 5,450 BTUs of energy, enough to light a 60-watt bulb for over 26 hours". Also, in 2005, recycling of municipal solid waste in America reduced manufacturing energy use by more than 988,489,000 million BTUs, enough energy to power 10,721,139
