9. REUSE
Reuse means just what it sounds like: using something again rather than throwing it out. That usually means finding a new use, such as making a tin into a multi-purpose container.

11. Recycling is a process…
RECYCLING MEANS TO USE MATERIALS AGAIN TO MAKE SOMETHING NEW!
Collection and Segregation
Processing and Remanufacturing
Purchase and Use

12. RECYCLE Find ways of recycling different materials
Buy products that can be recycled
Buy products that have been made from recycled material
Avoiding buying hazardous material
Recycle bins

13. Processes Of Recycling

14. Collection
The first step required for recycling is collecting recyclable materials from communities.
Families who recycle items such as paper, bottle, cans, place the items in recycling collection bins. These bins usually have the recycling symbol on them.

15. Processing
The second step involves processing the recyclable materials into groups, cleaning them and getting them ready to be sold to manufacturers who will turn the materials into new products.

16. Manufacturing
Manufacturing is the third step in the recycling process. Many items you may see every day are made from recycled materials. Newspapers, paper towels, office paper, plastic bottles and aluminium cans are not only made of recycled materials, but they can also be recycled again.

17. Purchasing
The last step, but certainly not the least, involves the purchasing of recycled products. When consumers purchase products that have been made with post consumer material the recycling process has been completed and can then be repeated. If you have the choice to purchase a product made from recycled materials, instead of one that was not, what do you think you should do? It takes education and awareness to remember to recycle and purchase recycled products.

24. Benefits of Recycling Financial Benefit Conservation of Resources
Energy savings
Community Building
Jobs creation
Strong economy
Environmental Protection

25. Financial Benefits Make money selling recyclables
Community Financial Benefits

26. Resources Conservation
Throwing away a single aluminum can, versus recycling it,
is like pouring out six ounces of gasoline.
Last year, Americans recycled enough aluminum cans to
conserve the energy equivalent to more than 15 million
barrels of oil.

27. Recycling Saves Energy
It requires more energy to manufacture a brand new aluminum can than it does to recycle 20 aluminum cans.

28. Recycling Builds Community
People work together
Communicate
Share ideas
Support each other

29. Recycling Creates Jobs
10,000 tons of waste:
Incinerated, creates 1 job
Landfills, creates 6 jobs
Recycled, creates 36 jobs

30. Recycling Helps Build A Strong Economy
Lower waste management costs
Cheaper production materials
Energy Savings
Jobs Creation

31. Recycling Helps Protect The Environment
Reduced contamination risk from landfills
Reduced pollution
Reduced environmental impact from mining or extracting fresh raw materials.
